Description

This is my latest attempt at Messier 104.  It sits fairly low on the horizon here at Great Neck Observatory north of Boston MA.  So I have to get it while I can.  The Moon was only a bit of a factor as it was rising later in the evening, but the seeing was not great, so I am actually happy with this image given that fact.  I have been having some trouble with Pixinsight, so my friend in Indiana helped me out and did the Pix processing.  I did a little work in Photo Shop, but not much.  Good to collaborate with other astrophotgraphers when things are not working out!  Clear Skies
