So very photogenic with its distinct dust lane around the central bulge of stars, hanging in space like a small pendant - or a Sombrero apparently. In fact it’s composed of several hundred billion individual stars and is estimated at a diameter of 50.000 lightyears so the only reason for it appearing small is its mind-melting distance of 28 million lightyears (meaning that the fastest thing in the universe - light - has travelled for 28 million years before it hit my telescope in my backyard. #M104 #sombrerogalaxy #astronomy #astrophotography #deepsky #backyardastronomy #astroshots #astrophoto #Space #universe #galaxy #universetoday #nightsky #stars #galaxy #nightphotography #skywatcher #touptek #backyardastrophotography

Although in very light polluted skies, I am back to observing.
The Sombrero Galaxy
The Sombrero Galaxy - New Image!
The Sombrero Galaxy, or Messier 104, is an odd galaxy, roughly 31 million light years from Earth.
This family of stars is noted for its massive brightly lit center, surrounded by dark, intricate lanes of dark dust.
