Tempest in the Core of M106

Using 48x900" each for Ha and OIII you can really see the tempest in the core of M106 and the giant streamer coming out of the galaxy. There is a lot of deformation as well from past interations. The narrowband data added greatly to many of the surrounding and background galaxies too. Looking through the annotations I decided to look up all the redshifts of the quasars present in my image. (I have included the redshift and comoving radial distance in the annotated version). By far the farthest object I have seen in any if my images Quasar SDSS J121451.31+471748.9 has a redshift z=3.176 and a comoving radial distance at a staggering 21.7 Billion Lightyears!! The light from that object is over 11 Billion years old!

Comments appreciated!

Here are some items I thought were very interesting:

Tempest of Narrowband in the Core of M106 (continuum subtracted data in HOO)

NGC4231 and 4232

Interacting Galaxies PGC2283644

NGC4220 and 4218. NGC4218 had some very cool narrowband in it

NGC4217

Quasar SDSS J121451.31+471748.9, heavily stretched so be visible at a distance of 21.7 Billion Lightyears!!

I also have a couple videos on Continuum Subtraction if it helps anyone.

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.
