Galaxy M104



Galaxy M104 with an ASA N8 20cm f2.75 astrograph and modified Canon 3500D

March 10, 2008 at the Starparty in Wateren. 10 x 5 minute exposures at 800ISO. Lots of moisture in the air, so there was a lot of gradient to cope with.
No autoguiding was used with the 10Micron GM2000 QCI mount, but the stars are still quite round.
This image was made with a modified Canon 350D, and a 20-cm (8") f/2.75 ASA Astrograph.
