hi folks,

I have images M 106 in two very different nights.
in the first one I had a terrific transparency of 8-9/10; seeing was less well with 5/10
in the second night it was almost the other way around.
seeing was very good with 7/10 and transparency only 5-6/10

Dietmar,

Wow!! Beautiful image! I counted at least 7-8 other galaxies in that image.

Very nice, Dietmar.
If one goes for really long exposure on this galaxy, a red shock wave produced by one of the bipolar jets in this galaxy becomes visible. It's just coming visible in your image. Congratulations, that is not often seen.
My regards,
