M106 (and friends)

[gremlin]

Hi SGL'ers,

As Imostly do science stuff nowadays, I don't get to take as many images as I would like. Always another asteroid etc to work on, however a friend loaned me his lovely WO 110 FLT and Atik 4000 so I decided it was time to make use of them. Here's an image from Sunday night. Messier 106. I do like this galaxy but never got to shoot it before.

Details:

LRGB 120:60:60:60 L Binning 1, RGB Binning 2

Processed Images Plus v3.5 and Photoshop CS2.

Equipment, William Optics 110 FLT APO, Atik 4000, AP1200 mount, Astronomik LRGB filters.
