Finally! 2 days of proper night skies!

Gathered data from M106 and the surrounding structures, for over 7 hours using the Stellamira 90ED Triplet + x0.8 reducer/ flattener + 2" L-Pro filter. Managed to get 300 sec subs + calibration frames. Guiding was good but, I have started seeing elongated stars at the top corners (managed to reduce it a bit with BlurX) and I will need to find out where does that come from. I am not sure if it is back-focus or some tilt with either the filter drawer or the the OAG or both.

I am happy though with the result and even more happy with the fact that I have managed to capture an object (albeit very faint) that is approx. 3.8 billion light years away: PGC2299122 (just at the right of NGC4248).
