Messier 106 is an active nucleus, Type 2 Seyfert galaxy. It has a supermassive black hole in its nucleus. This image was taken with the Seestar, and shows the turbulent detail in the disk and central region of the galaxy. The image is just over 5 hours of integration, processed in Siril, Topaz Denoise AI, Affinity Photo, and Photoshop. I’ve also added a cropped and enhanced version of the inner region.
The trials, tribulations and small triumphs of a Charlotte, NC astronomer imaging under Bortle 8/9 skies.
