The Little Sombrero

NGC 7814
NGC 7814

NGC 7814 popularly and aptly know as the “little Sombrero” is a truly handsome classical edge on galaxy, resplendent with well defined dust lane and flying saucer outline. Getting such a large, and it was large completely spanning the filled of view and therefore completely spanning the monitor screen down on paper accurately is time consuming and I rarely render such splendour to my satisfaction, this instance proved to be no exception.

Best wishes, Dale
