M 106 Galaxy

I tried this galaxy almost too late in the season. It was very low in the West at dark. Therefore, all I got was maybe 12 minutes total with the LX-90 @f6.3 and Canon XT @ISO 800. I wish I would have had more time......next year. :?

Thanks James & Rog,

James: Yes, I'm using a standard meade wedge. But, I usually don't take longer than 45 sec. images....no matter what the target. I stack the heck out of the pile later...

Rog: I squeezed all I could out of this one... Next year I'll give it 30-40 minutes at least.
