M104 The Sombrero Galaxy in Virgo-Meade 10 inch/ST237 ccd camera @ f3.3; LRGB image 30:5:5:5 min. exposures; North Canton, Ohio 05/2005 Notes: The "Sombrero" is perhaps the most beautiful example of an edge-on spiral galaxy. A close examination of the great dark lane will reveal knots of dark matter superimposed onto the very bright yellow core. DDP and L-R deconvolution applied.
