M106 in a very special presentation :)

[Avdhoeven]

So cool. Diplom ceremony last week at the highschool where I teach physics. Imagine yourself walking in a space suit on a stage of a 1500 seat theater with an image of m106 on the screen in the background that you processed yourself using data from several sources. Well that was one of my coolest moments  (yes, that's me in the suit...)
