Hi all. I just got around to processing this image. It was taken a while back, from my light-polluted back yard. I was pleased that I was able to pick up a number of dimmer galaxies as well as M106. I would like to try this again from a dark sky site, but this will have to do for now! This image is a crop at native resolution. Additional distant galaxies were visible in the original (just outside this cropped frame).
Cheers,
Tyler

Tyler,
Definitely one of those "the more you look the more you see" shots. And I definitely looked for quite a while!

Nice shot Tyler. Galaxies are challenging. You have to have your gear under control to get them.

Greg.
