With 14 hours integration I should have less noise in this image, and if I leave out the Ha data it looks much cleaner.  However, the goal was to image the so-called “anomalous arms”, weak but evident in Ha visible light. From what I gather reading wiki and other websites, M106 (23 mly away) has a large central black hole with an accretion disk that creates two extra galactic arms out of plane of the galaxy that glow in X-ray region.  The extra arms are obvious in Chandra X-ray data.  As I understand it, the X-rays ionize hydrogen gas along the way creating a corresponding Ha emission (experts please feel free to correct my description).   Inclusion of the Ha anomalous arms in my image were my target capture.  However, spring weather in Oklahoma is not the most cooperative for imaging, I needed two more good nights to get more Ha, but I finally gave-in to the wind, rain, heat, clouds, dew (so much dew it got inside my SCT), and hail.  I did get hailed on (dime size).  Not having an observatory, I break-down and set-up in the open far from my house so I keep a watchful eye on the weather with an app.  I had one night, that according to my weather app, would be clear except for a passing storm to the north.  I was setting up and the app indicated over and over ‘no rain’, despite the formation of a single menacing cloud a little too close.   Abruptly my app forecast changed from ‘no rain’ to heavy thunderstorm with hail in 15 minutes.  My Telegizmos cover amazingly protected my scope but, I ended the night with no more Ha data.  So, inclusion of my Ha subs, although deficient in integration time, weak and noisy, still show a bit of the “anomalous arms”, but at a cost of adding a lot of red random and linear pattern noise evident throughout the image.  I may exit galaxy season for this year, perhaps next year I’ll try m106 again and clean it up with more Ha.
