Description
Sombrero Galaxy (M104) in constellation Virgo is spiral galaxy located approx 30 million light years from Earth. The dark dust lane (which consist of dust and cold hydrogen) and the bulge give this galaxy the appearance of a sombrero.
Picture taken with newton telescope f/5.4 750mm focal length and scientific camera. Total exposure time: 3h 50m
I have taken this picture personally, involving my time, knowledge and equipment. No "NASA" data was engaged. Astrophotography is my passion, thank you for supporting my work :)
