The galaxy has a diameter of approximately 50,000 light-years, 30% the size of the Milky Way. It has a bright nucleus, an unusually large central bulge, and a prominent dust lane in its inclined disk. The dark dust lane and the bulge give this galaxy the appearance of a sombrero (hat).

That's a nice looking sombrero. What sort of exposure time and stacking are you using for these shots ?

Thanks Chris
Thanks for your comment.
I use this settings:
M 104 Y OTRAS / GX / VIRGO /
M 104 y otras, is the target name
GX, is galaxy, the kind of object
VIRGO is the name of constellation of the object
EXPO=20X15" stack / FWHM=3,5/ ALTIT= 30º/ Moon=0
EXPO is the exposition time, 20 stacks of 15 seconds each one
With a seeing/FWHM of 3,5
and with an altitud of the object at 30º
Moon= 0 is no Moon present.

Indeed. Great image. It almost has a 'real' look about it ... like you are out there cruising past at warp speed and looking out the window. Black background. Little if any noise. Nice image.
