M106 and surrounding region

[R1k]

Started on a new target last night. I absolutely love this area of the sky surrounding M106 - so much to see, photograph and discover. Will hopefully add much more to this (including some Ha) in the coming weeks. 210 minutes, 294MC pro, 10" f4 newt, Bortle 6

Very nice image Rik! I love the way that side on galaxies look, a nice dark centre with light popping out. It'll be interesting to see how M106 will look with Ha data. 

Funnily enough, I was going to shoot this target with the same framing last night but it hit the meridian by the time I was ready to shoot so I changed target. After seeing your image, I'll definitely have to give it a go.

Thanks! Yeh I’m a big fan of this framing. I’m looking forward to seeing your result 🙂

That's outstanding detail from a 210 minutes of integration and a Bortle 6 location.👍

Are imaging at native resolution or are you binning 2x2?

Native resolution. Image scale is 0.96 arc sec/ pixel.

thanks very much, I’m so pleased with this setup.

Wow - incredibly sharp detail. I look forward to seeing it with more data!
