M106 on the road...

[Leonardo70]

Dear Forum,

i just finished resume M106, a beautiful galaxy with a nucleus somewhat tumultuous. The project lasted several days, whenever I did 200km of road up the mountain :sadeyes: . In short it was a good effort. But the passion is strong ...

Finally seeing, a very good (for my site :thumbsup:) allowed me to get a decent result, I believe.

The only dark note (in my mind) is the HAlpha, as much as I pushed in increments of 30 minutes each is not to be able to highlight much of the jet visible in the great photos on the net.

I hope it will please you:

Thanks for looking.

All the best,

Thanks to everyone for the comments, it is a pleasure for me. How many sacrifices we make this passion ? Each of us knows it ;)

Mike, When I see the M106 from the R.J. Gabany the hope in my mind (:screwy:) has to catch the Ha Jet of the core but after 2 frame of H-Alpha (each of 30 min, and my mount is still sweaty), I realized that it would be almost impossible.

However, something came out, these are the famous two frames added without calibration (then I have done 9):

Very nice indeed Leonardo, you are squeezing out any drop of light from your RC!! I would have bet it was taken with a much larger telescope, congratulation! :thumbsup:
