Description

This HaLRGB photograph of Bode's Galaxy completes my goal of imaging the 4 giant neighboring galaxies outside of Local Group.  I consider these targets to be some of the top targets for any astrophotographer to attempt.  All 4 are amazing objects in their own right, hard to pick the favorite.

M106 Galaxy
