M104: Sombrero Galaxy

Click image above to view full size
I decided I should have an image of the Sombrero, it's almost mandatory as an Astro Photographer. This is not a great image, I hope to improve on it sometime. The exposure contrast is challenging, as is the focus to acheive fine detail in the dust ring.
Camera:SBIG ST7-ME
Aperture:About F/6.3
Date:Sometime in 2004.
