Description

M106 Galaxy, a IRpass-RGB color image & subs were taken during two nights in March-2021.

Hard to get any colors in the outer regions of the Galaxy, I expect it's due to the light pollution in the area.

First time that I also needed to take flats in order to get a 'smoother' background.

My home build observatory is placed in my front yard/in the "red light" pollution zone, have a look here,

Red Zone

Kind regards Niels
