M106 - Spiral Galaxy


This image of M106 was a bit of an afterthought when the Sombrero Galaxy disappeared behind my house and there was a still some darkness left in the sky.  It's composed of three minute light frames which suffered from poor guiding, satellite trails and clouds and so were whittled down to only twelve usable subs. 

So after one night's imaging with my new camera and using the ASIair for the first time for colour imaging I'm quite pleased with the results.  The lack of amp glow and the ease of taking flats compared to the AA294c camera is giving some hope for some good images this year.
