Lovely m106, look forward to seeing some more data added to it!

You MUST add colour to this!!!!!! Great Luminance shot though!!!

Very smooth and natural. It is a fine image and, yes, colour would be great because it is such an interesting nucleus.

I like this very subtle rendition - mono can be very beautiful indeed.

[prokyon]

Great pic! You captured a lot of details. This is not an easy object, my respect!

[Angeleyes]

Great Capture and lots of hard work,i like it a lot.

Well done

PS

can i see Nebula in this shot that looks like a faint mist?

The stuff that's lit from our own galaxy,forget what they call it now.

You've nicely captured the detail towards the core of the galaxy, on an object I have yet to attempt. On the outside though there is a sharp step in intensity from the background to the outside glow of the galaxy; Did you do histogram/stretching using 8-bit depth by any chance? I think with full 16-bit pixel depth maintained during the processing then the image could be even better. But a great shot nevetheless.

Cheers, Chris

Exellent result, as has been said nice and natural looking.

I like it very much, great picture, a side by side comparison in colour would be interesting.

thanks for the comments

I know that this galaxy is needed many hours of exposure to a 80mm

My sky is not the best but I think I had a good result

sincerely hoping for better

but with high clouds and some moisture on the lens had to remove 1 hour exposure

I leave here the sum of day 12 and 13 total 5horas lum

no darks no flats

Hello Rui,

It is fantastic image and the heart is right. Excellent result in L and now you could do again with the RGB !

sorry made a mistake in my processing:p

something was to intrigue me in the old photo not get that detail with 5horas exposure in a 80mm

back with a new processing
