Description

M106 is very well known and often displayed - I wanted to use a clear night with 3/4 moon to find out if I can get some decent images from my RASA11 with the QHY600C - despite the very strong and disturbing moon light. I planned to collect 200x60" subs, but my Eagle4S with Win10 decided to end the cooperation after 110 subs. Well, that is the result - not bad for strong moonlight and only about half the planned subs.
One can see many other galaxies as well - due to the moonlight, I decided to expose and process for the galaxies only and not for the IFN as well.
