M106
π M106 β A Galactic Masterpiece! β¨ After 11 hours of total exposure time in LRGB using my trusted equipment (mount EQ8-R, camera QHY268m, and optics Askar APO 185), this astrophotograph came to life. The processing was done with Astropixelprocessor, PixInsight, and Photoshop β truly a labor of love!
M106 (also known as NGC 4258) is a magnificent spiral galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici, located about 23 million light-years away from Earth. It captivates with its active galactic core and its distinct, slightly asymmetric spiral arms. Beyond its beauty, itβs scientifically intriguing: a supermassive black hole lies hidden at its center! π.
