Description

Great seeing this night, with new moon dark clear skies. Im generally satisfied with this, but I am still lacking the detail I like. I remain stuck with simple PI processing.

(from Wiki) Messier 106 (also known as NGC 4258) is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici. It is about 22 to 25 million light-years away from Earth. M106 contains an active nucleus and a supermassive black hole .
