Description

M 106 taken during spring 2020.

I upgraded my guiding system with the William Optics Guide Star 61 APO. I am very happy with the results since guiding looks much better now! Also my guide-resolution has improved allot again.

Some star issues in this image, which sometimes happen. Need to find out the cause but probably has to do with sky conditions.
