Messier 104, the
Sombrero Galaxy is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo. It's very picturesque, and one of my favorite galaxies to look at. This was my first time attempting to photograph M104, and until the object appeared on the
May 2014 observing list, I had no idea it would even be visible to my Canon T5i using a fixed-tripod technique.
M104 brings my Messier Object total up to 55 out of 110!
