M106 Widefield

[Allinthehead]

Hi all, here's my second image from last weeks clear spell.

12hrs in 180 second subs shot with the Asi 2600mc through an Esprit 100, mounted on an Az Eq6.

Processed in PI, PS and App.

Good health to all.

Richard.

That another cracker Richard, so much detail everywhere including in the background with all the wee tiny galaxies of all shapes and sizes.

That is lovely. Superb shot of a fascinating region of the sky. Certainly an area on my to-do list

Thanks Adam, that's the beauty of a widefield galaxy image. Did you spot the interacting ones? I would love a longer focal length to really get some detail but until i manage to get a permanent setup then the Esprit is as heavy an instrument as i care to be lugging in and out.

Wonderful Richard. I just love that wee edge-on galaxy to the right of M106. 

Are those subtle wisps of IFN i detect?

Excellent image! Always looking forward to your widefield images.

Very nice and at 550mm I am maybe going to rethink my approach to shooting galaxies, I tend to shy away from there at 805mm, thinking too shot, too small. See here though a very fine result.

Thanks Ciarán. I don't think there's IFN in this region, maybe it's a processing artifact. I'll take another look.

Thank you Alan, definitely worth shooting galaxies at 805mm.
