Description

Messier 106 is a gorgeous spiral galaxy located in the constellation Ursa Major located between 22 and 25 million light-years away from us. This image was capture with my Celestron 6 inch SCT and ZWO 183 MC pro. Some of the stars are a little misshapen due to some sag in the imaging train (at least that is what I think the problem is). This image is made from 4 hours of total integration time.
