Tempest in the Core of M106

[Seti Astro]

Using 48x900" each for Ha and OIII to enhance the RGB you can really see the tempest in the core of M106 and the giant streamer coming out of the galaxy.  There is a lot of deformation as well from past interations.  The narrowband data added greatly to many of the surrounding and background galaxies too. 

Looking through the annotations I decided to look up all the redshifts of the quasars present in my image.  (I have included the redshift and comoving radial distance in the annotated version).  By far the farthest object I have seen in any if my images Quasar SDSS J121451.31+471748.9 has a redshift z=3.176 and a comoving radial distance at a staggering 21.7 Billion Lightyears!!  The light from that object is over 11 Billion years old!

Comments appreciated!

Close in of the Narrowband Continuum Subtracted Core, really showing the tempest of gas!

 

 

NGC4220 and 4218.  NGC4218 had some very cool narrowband in it

 

NGC4231 and 4232

 

NGC4217

 

Quasar SDSS J121451.31+471748.9, heavily stretched so be visible at a distance of 21.7 Billion Lightyears!!

I also have a couple videos on Continuum Subtraction if it helps anyone.
