Messier 106 with narrowband data. As the clouds rolled in a couple of nights ago, I managed to capture 35 minutes of narrowband data on M 106 (140 x 15s). I added this data to the data captured several nights previously with the L-Pro light pollution filter. The heavily cropped result is below. Reddish areas on M 106 are due to ionized hydrogen and likely indicate star-forming regions in the galaxy. I've also included an annotated image.
The trials, tribulations and small triumphs of a Charlotte, NC astronomer imaging under Bortle 8/9 skies.
