Since the moon is currently around the full phase and getting new deep images will need to wait for a few days, I decided to reprocess one of my images from last year to see if I could pull out more detail. The image below is of the Sombrero Galaxy, also known as Messier 104. This galaxy in the constellation of Virgo is around 32 million light years away (+ or - 3 million light years). I have also included my previous image for comparison (same data, I just reprocessed the image with a bit more expertise that I have gained since last year).This image was taken with a canon DSLR with 10, six minute exposures with the ISO set to 1600 using a 4096 mm focal length at F10. All comments, questions and suggestions are welcome.
