Reading M106's entry on Wiki and I couldn't help but use this description😀

Messier 106 - Wikipedia

BXT has enabled me to find a processing workflow that quickly brings out detail that I knew was lurking from previous attempts at processing this and other Springtime galaxies that I was able to capture using my RC6 earlier this year. This is probably the last bright example but there are others...😉

That workflow has definitely worked well Andy.  Nice detail and subtle colours.  The little wisps of Ha in the arms looks great too!

Are there any details you can spell out ?  I need something to hunt down lurking details
