Description

M106 LRGB. I did this 5 years ago and thought it looked sort of okay. Looking at it with more critical and wizened eyes it looked a bit soft and just odd. I looked through all the subs and noticed that a number of them had been taken through high clouds. After tossing the offending images, I was left with just enough to process. Someday will go back and do it all again, it is such a cool area of the sky. The ray of light at the lower left is from a bright star just out of the field.
