M 106
Posted: Tue Mar 11, 2025 10:23 am
We had a stretch of clear nights here and I dedicated three of them to M 106. My last visit is several years ago and my equipment improved a bit since then. Conditions were better now, too. So I thought it might be worth a shot. I gathered about 19 hrs of broadband and 9 hrs of duo NB. This was the result:
See https://app.astrobin.com/u/Boex?i=2bfyig for details.
Overall I am quite happy. I think there is still some continuum Ha present in M 106 which I couldn't get rid of, no matter what values I used for 'Ignore fine detail' or 'Detail size'. But it's okay I guess.
Looking at the results of two modules was really fun: HDR and SVDevon. M 106 did benefit from HDR and the DSOcore preset (the core especially, of course) and SVDecon had a very nice effect on NGC 4217. Insane what SVDecon gets out of the data.

Stefan
