Description

We didn't have a single clear night since mid-Feb
So even though the Moon was really bright, I set up the RC8 and wanted to get something from the Galaxy season!
M104, the Sombrero Galaxy was on the top of my list but it was also terribly close to the Moon, so M101 was the backup plan, a bit further apart.
