Description

In a first for me, I took more data later on from the original set, on a different telescope, and combined the two sets! M106 has a lot of Ha in it. I wound up having to crop the image quite a lot because of a 45-degree difference in rotation between the two sets. The LRGB set only has 2.5 hours of data, so it's a bit on the noisy side. Oh well, I'll just have to get more data!
