"You don't like cats? You just can't cook them right"

Well, I really love my cat, but I'm not good in "cooking" galaxies. That's why I've got only one in my collection. But once you are lucky to get clear sky in April - why not giving it a try?
Unfortunately the weather wouldn't allow for capturing H-alpha, which is absolutely necessary. Fortunatly I've got friends

Many thanks to Sviatoslav Lips who shared his H-alpha and L data with me. Since the FOV of our images differs about twice, I couldn't just add his L data into the stack. Instead I've applied it high-pass filtered above M106 "body" only. I suspect it's not quite a fair-play, but I did it

Hope you like it!

And this is a bonus image: my cat. She looks unhappy, yet she is safe unlike many others.
Stay safe and Clear Skies!

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
