I had a surprise fairly clear evening last night and decided to try M106. I'd never tried this target before...
I had some clouds roll through but I was able to salvage 225 x 1 min exposures and run them through APP.
The result was actually decent so I went on to StarTools and gave it a run...
I couldn't decide which crop version looked best so I'm posting both!.
As usual, comments and criticism welcome.
Thanks for looking!
Larry

Looking good Larry! Both crop versions are nice, I have a preference for the wider view containing more additional galaxies.

Really nice. I also like the wider view with the NGC 4217.

Yep, really nice. I'm down for the wider field too both are excellent.

Thanks everyone! My wife actually made the crop on the wider one.
I'll be sure to tell her you all prefer hers!

very nice larry , with the f3.9 ? you have very nice and sharp details , good sky i assume aswell, a little improvment on star tracking and i'ts perfect , have you looked into an off axis guide or a hyper tune ?

Thank you!
I have not looked into those as of yet. My sky is
bortle 5 and my camera is very efficient at >90%
QE so I'm looking into shorter exposures. Maybe 30 sec or so...

Very nice image. I like both versions, but I like the first one better (I know, I'm the odd one out here). Well done on the capture though.
