Messier 106 Galaxy
22-25 million light years away with not just any black hole but a "supermassive" black hole at the center. Dwarf galaxy NGC 4248 stands by on the upper right.
Tech Stuff: Questar 3.5"/ ZWO ASI 533 MM/ RST-135-E mount. 100 minutes total of livestacked 8-second exposures, captured in SharpCap Pro and processed in PixInsight. From my yard in Westchester County, 10 miles north of NYC.
