My image of M104 taken over 2 nights this week. Also called the Sombrero Galaxy, it features a large central core and a dark dust lane where star formation is occurring. Some structure can be discerned in the disk and dust lane of this nearly edge-on spiral that is 28 MLY distant. #astrophotography
