Description

Something useful (and colorful!) to pass the time until M106 cleared my roof!

Until things open up again and I can set up elsewhere my restricted FOV at home makes getting decent time on targets very challenging and this time of year means a very late night...

Not wanting to waste a rare clear night I collected LRGB subs on M44 until midnight when M106 came into view. Would have been better with the reducer but M106 was the primary target for the night. Not enough time on that to make it worth posting yet.... looks promising though
