mjrpes,
That picture is breathtaking. What's even more awesome are the statisitics.

"The Sombrero lies at the southern edge of the rich Virgo cluster of galaxies and is one of the most massive objects in that group, equivalent to 800 billion suns. The galaxy is 50,000 light-years across and is located 28 million light-years from Earth."

equivalent to 800 billion suns!!! :icon20:
And when you think that just one light year is 10 trillion km, it just boggles the mind. Very humbling stuff though.

28 million x 10 trillion = erm....

Clear skies are not hard to find in Arizona. Light pollution is easily avoided.

More likely, it's a lack of effort on my part.
