Description

M106 as processed by ASTAP, from Burnt Tree Hill observatory in Cle Elum. Calibration is only 10 darks & 1 flat, binned 4X. 1 flat, 8 darks.  No guiding and no focal reducer on the Meade 10" f/10 SCT. I think the back focus might be off a little but not too bad. For processing I only used the sigma stacking algorithm in ASTAP and its stretching function, and then exported a JPEG. This is full frame, by the way.
