M106

Hi,

 

this is my image of M106, taken last week over several nights.

Total exposure time is about 19 hrs.

 

Thanks for looking, commenting...

Wow, a fantastic result, so much detail in the core of M106!
 

I would be very interested if you could list  the specific equipment you used for this image, and the quality of the sky you had for this capture, thanks.

Thanks !

EQ6R-pro mount, Esprit 120 @F7, SW field flattener, ZWO OAG + ASI120mm mini, EFW and ASI1600mm pro.

My location is a Bortle 5 and i would say seeing conditions were good to one or two nights very good, there were 5 nights in total .

great image .👍. I take it this is a cropped image as your FOV seems much bigger

Thanks for that, I have access to a similar set up, just need to try and pick the rare good nights of seeing.
