M106
Well guess im done with this project the forecast shows clouds rain an thunderstorms next 7 days. I had 3 strait clear cool nights I was able to get 10.15 hours of data. The 1st night was horrible from the scope in the observatory not being used for 5 month. It always seems to do like that?
M106 is the large galaxy upper left, its a barred spiral galaxy located in constellation Canes Venatici and is located 22, 25 million lightyears away from Earth.
The smaller Galaxy mid right of the image is NGC 4217 a edge on spiral galaxy, it is located 60 million lightyears away.
Taken with a 16 year old Unmodified Canon 60d through an Orion 8” newtonian astrograph with coma correcter, all on a 11 year old Celestron AVX mount.
Exposure:
203x3minutes 10.15 hours, 55 dark frames ISO-1250
Processing:
Pixlinsight: First time using batch weighted stacking, SCNR green, Background ext, noisexterminator, blur terminator, histogram stretch, SCNR, added mask curves saturations,
Photoshop: selective color adjustments, color balance highlights, highlight and shadows adjustments, levels
