M106

My first fairly successful picture of the M106, taken 2014-12-28, with my Canon EOS 550D mounted to my SkyWatcher Explorer 200PDS on the Celestron CG5. No eyepiece. Tracking, but no auto guiding. 124 light frames, 20 dark frames, 20 flat frames and 20 bias frames, stacked with DSS, and improved with a trial version of PixInsight.
