Description

I decided to image M106 again, having earlier finished my previous image of the M106 with the Redcat 51, however, this time I used the larger ZWO FF107 APO.   I used the ASI294MC Pro this time instead of the ASI183MC Pro I used on the previous version.  Integration for both images was about the same, both using the LeXtreme and Antlia Quad filters.  I thought the comparison of the two was interesting.

I have also started guiding with the ASKAR OAG and Player One Sedna -M camera, rather than a separate guide scope (Ioptron Iguider) with the larger FF107 APO telescope.  I have to say I have never gotten so consistently good guiding with my GEM 45 as when I switched to an OAG.
