M88




This is my first astro image in some time taken with Sheldon's 10 inch telescope. I'm still recovering from the removal of a renal cancer tumor in my spine which also had to be fused together with a metal clamp. It was the most difficult of my three surgeries, but once everything is done, I should be able to walk with less pain.
The taking of this image sure helps the healing process and would not be possible without the help of my friend Sheldon. Thanks also to Sean for a great job processing the image.
With everything that has happened in the past months, seeing this galaxy reminds me just how small we are in the whole universe.
