Description

M106 is a galaxy about which the minds argue. Some see it as a spiral galaxy, others as a barred galaxy. Some count it to the Ursa Major group, others to the Canes Venatici group. Personally, I just like it.

Because of the wind, it took four nights to collect the data. I could even discard the subs of one night completely.
