Messier 106 and the dangers of astrophotography

[Hughsie]

I started this image on 21st January 2021. At 4am the next morning I arose to go outside and pack up my gear. That was the plan anyway.

What actually happened was I got up, blacked out and fell to the bedroom floor. In fact my head, arms and torso fell to the floor, my left foot had other plans and stayed firmly planted on the deck then released a loud crack as I turned over on it. Hospital followed, then a big boot and I never returned to M106.

Until now.

Presented in LRGB as follows;

21/01/2021 - R:G:B 3 minutes exposures (25:39:29)

26/27 Feb 2022 - L:R:G:B 2 minute exposures (130:60:55:60)

Total integration time - 14.8 hours.
