Here's a color image I took of M104 on 1/20/08 at a dark sky site in Moorook, Australia (see imaging details below).

This is an LRsGB (sG = synthetic green) image I took with one of the Global-Rent-A-Scope systems in Moorook, Australia. The scope, located in Australian bush country at a dark sky site, was controlled with my browser while I sat in my den in Michigan, USA in the middle of the afternoon. Now that's some amazing technology!

Thanks for looking.
