M106 Galaxy

This is a total re-process from the ground up of the data captured earlier this month. The previous version had some issues, including a set of out of date flats which I had forgotten to refresh after changing focuser.

 

I also discovered the gamma settings on my iMac screen were much too high, making the blacks too deep, I was compensating by processing the background too light.

 

17 hours in LRGB with an Altair Astro 6" RC and Atik 314l+, processed in Pixinsight and CS5.
