M104, Sombrero Galaxy
« on: 2014 June 19 19:02:38 »
Had a lot of trouble processing this one, but I think I finally nailed it. Very hard to get down to the core and still show the halo.

Most certainly an incredible view of that very nice galaxy... Looks like this PW instrument is doing its best! Lots of details in the galaxy :)
Very pleasant view.

This is a very good image Geoff. Some nice detail captured on the galaxy plane without blowing away the halo at the same time. Looks like the Plane Wave is working well for you.
