The Messier 106 galaxy (M106) and some of its neighbours in the Canes Venatici constellation shot over 1-1/2 nights on April 15 & 16.
M106 is approximately 22-25 Million light years from Earth and is part of the Canes II group of galaxies, which is part of the Local Supercluster. It is comparable in size and luminosity to the Andromeda galaxy, though ~10 times more distant, hence its smaller apparent size from Earth.
This image is composed from a stack of 90 x 300s sub-exposures (7h 30m total). Captured with an Askar FRA400 astrograph (400mm focal length, f/5.6) and a ZWO ASI183MC Pro RGB camera with an Optolong L-Enhance light pollution filter and using the Kstars/Ekos and PHD2 software (Astroberry image) on a Raspberry Pi 4. Stacking and processing with Pixinsight and Darktable.

M106
Magnitude 8.4 intermediate spiral galaxy located 22 million light-years away in the constellation Canes Venatici. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1781. It is one of the largest and brightest nearby galaxies, similar in size and luminosity to the Andromeda Galaxy.
