M106 and at least 8 neighbouring (on sky) galaxies such as NGC 4217, NGC 4248, NGC 4226, NGC 4232 and NGC 4231 .
Skywatcher 200p on NEQ6 mount, with guiding and dithering. Canon 100d modified DSLR with Optolong CLS-CCD filter. 37 five minute exposures at ISO 800 (3 hours 5 minutes), 5 dark frames, 10 flat fields, 14 bias frames.

Overnight temperatures were a bit higher than winter, leading to more noise in the image. Worth a return visit!
