Date: August 23, 2008 12:11PM It is a cool galaxy.
I have seen it many times live thru my own 13" reflector. But unfortunately,thru a scope with the naked eye,it looks nothing like the photo. As is true with most celestial objects. Photos, you must remember, gather light over many minutes or hours of exposure. Brian Re: Sombrero Galaxy is amazing...

I wonder what we will see when we pick an even smaller field of view and stare at it for 6 months.. or a year... Will we ever see the "edge" of the known universe.. that is, the edge of the "universe" created by the theoretical big bang? "What is the universe expanding into?".. more of the same? To me the beauty of an infinite universe is its tension.. Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 08/23/2008 01:48PM by loeve. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
