Another night of imaging in the backyard. This is from the 27th. I captured 212 subs of M 106 (NGC 4258), a spiral galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici. Integration time is about 7 hours. M106 is 7.576 megaparsecs or a little over 24 million lightyears away from us. I stacked 189 together with minimal processing in Pixinsight and the result is pretty nice, given the constraints of the setup—an inexpensive camera and OTA.

These have a perfect look to attract the viewer’s attention. Fiberglass is a strong material and as compared to concrete, a fiberglass pool takes less time to construct. . . . . . #catmotor #dcsauto #carbonstar #fibradevidro #partracing #hotel #luxurytravel #luxuryhotel #beautifulhotels #luxuryresort #swim #swimmer #summer #pool #beach #swimmingpool #swimwear #fitness #bikini #swimbikerun #triathlon https://www.instagram.com/p/CRLsD6cFCV3/?utm_medium=tumblr
