Description

Messier 106

My first real full length multi-night imaging run with the AD250 from 656Imaging.co.uk.

The transparency was poor/variable at the start of each night which I think affected the luminescence sub frames with more light pollution than the RGB frames. However I did manage to get the outer fine arms of the galaxy, something that I have never seen before. Just shows what the scope is capable of. I can't wait until I get an opportunity to get it out to a proper dark site and see that it is truly capable of.
