Taken during very hazy conditions
Scope - 305F3.8, camera STL11K

Tonight it will be clear skies, so I will try again.

Hi Roland!

Very nice! I like the way you can bring out the contrast in your targets!

WOW!! Your setup has a great FOV. M106 has a lot of friends.

Looking forward to M106-Part Deux.

What a great wide field! The hazy skies are no help, but overall it shows real promise! Good luck on the second try. grin

Rolando,

Some of the stars around M106 itself look non-circular. One or two bad subs thrown into the mix just to have a sample result?

Any info on the subs and exposure time?

Great field of view!

Anthony.
