Description

M106 is a spiral galaxy in Canes Venatici. I managed to capture just 80 minutes of photons on this target, in between when I finally overcame my own buffoonery and when the clouds rolled in. Perhaps I shouldn't have bothered, but opportunities to collect photons this time of year in the Colorado mountains can be few and far between due to the unsettled weather we get. Photons collected at 8400 feet above sea level under Bortle 4 skies.
