Description

M106 Galaxy. Processed using technique described in my [M81 image.](http://www.astrobin.com/68513/)

Took nearly 2 months to get the subs because of poor weather .

There is an interesting feature in the Ha - there are two additional arms in the galaxy visible - you can see two arm like red features in the image. These are thought to be hydrogen emission from gas falling into a central black hole.

I've posted a second revision with an increased Ha contribution - this shows the feature in the arms better, but overall, does not look as good, so left the original version as the final version.
