Hi shangyrhee
Thanks for viewing my newest version of M104 and for the comment. I expect that next spring I can get more subs to stack and improve the image more.

Great images. Thanks for sharing them, and the details about your equipment and complex process of astrophotography.

Makes moonshots look real easy!

Spectacular work, Ballard. Next best thing to Hubbell, which I understand has a software problem. So you may be the best :-)

Hi Ronnie
Thanks for checking out my latest version of M104 and for the comment. Yep deep sky images are more involved that lunar shots. Although lunar and planetary shots also benefit from image stacking, expect you can take video of the moon and planets to get a bunch of frames to stack much more quickly.

Hi John from gpwmi
Thanks for checking out my newest version of M104 and for the comment. I'm not in the same class as Hubble but I'm slowly getting better at this stuff.

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.

Simply phenomenal, Ballard!

Reckon there’s someone out there shooting pictures of “that spiral galaxy” and wondering the same thing at this act moment in time? Hmmm
