M106 is one of those objects that rewards a closer look. What appears to be extra spiral arms is actually shock-heated gas pushed out of the galactic plane by jets from an active nucleus. This field also captures NGC 4217 edge-on, the interacting pair NGC 4231/4232, and several fainter neighbors […]
M106 / NGC 4248 Galaxies - telescope processed image. M106 is a majestic spiral galaxy housing a supermassive black hole at its core. It’s famous for two "extra" spiral arms made of hot gas, visible primarily in X-ray and radio waves.
M106 / NGC 4248 Galaxies - unprocessed image. NGC 4248 is a starbursting dwarf galaxy located 24 million light-years away. It is a close companion to M106, with its chaotic shape likely caused by galactic interaction.

M106 / NGC 4248 Galaxies - unprocessed image. NGC 4248 is a starburst galaxy near M106, likely undergoing a sudden surge of star formation due to gravitational interaction with its larger neighbor.
This is the last image from the morning - a quick observation of #M106. To the right you can see #NGC4248. This duration was cut short due to clouds coming into the area. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur
M106 / NGC 4248 Galaxies - telescope processed image. M106 is a "Seyfert galaxy" featuring an extra pair of glowing arms made of hot gas, likely created by a supermassive black hole's intense gravitational play.
M106 / NGC 4248 Galaxies - unprocessed image. NGC 4248 is a "companion" galaxy to the larger M106; it is a small, irregular star-forming galaxy that appears as a fuzzy smudge nearby in deep-space photographs.

Galaxy M106 - telescope processed image. M106 is the largest member of the Canes Venatici II Group, surrounded by several smaller dwarf galaxies and other spirals like NGC 4217 and NGC 4248.
Galaxy M106 - unprocessed image. M106 is in Canes Venatici (The Hunting Dogs). It's a small northern constellation between Ursa Major and Boötes, best seen in the spring.
Based on the last post, sharing the s50 view of #galaxy #M106. I’m this image you can make out #NGC4248 above M106. Even further at the top you can see #galaxies #NGC4231 and #NGC4232. #unistellar #odysseypro #space #astronomy #amateur
Galaxy M106 - telescope processed image. M106 is a large intermediate spiral galaxy in Canes Venatici with an active black hole that causes "anomalous" extra arms visible in X-ray and radio.
Galaxy M106 - unprocessed image. M106 has four spiral arms! Its two "anomalous" extra arms are made of super-hot gas, not stars, and are energized by its active black hole.
Decided to look at some more #galaxies this morning with the Odyssey Pro. Here is #M106. At the top of the image you can see part of #NGC4238. #unistellar #odysseypro #space #astronomy #amateur

Wes captured the stunning #spiralgalaxy #M106, located 22-25 million light-years away. 🌌✨ Similar in size and luminosity to Andromeda, M106 is a beauty of the cosmos!
This impressive image took 18 hours of exposure using the #Celestron #EdgeHD 8 with a focal reducer. 🚀🔭

A stunning image of Messier 106 (M106), a spiral galaxy located approximately 21 million light-years away in the constellation Canes Venatici. The image showcases its vibrant spiral arms, bright core powered by a massive black hole, and youthful blue star clusters. M106 is a Seyfert galaxy, a type of active galaxy with a very bright core.

@juliew67.bsky.social I think I’m done with M106 (but are astrophotographers ever actually done tweaking? 😂). Both images are crops of an original image taken with a 350mm scope. Very happy w/ the detail in the aggressive crop. #m106 #astrophotography #astronomy #nightsky #zwo @apod.shinyakato.dev
Here’s galaxy #M106 which has some Hydrogen alpha ions that you see can glowing in that reddish-pink color. I captured 19.5 hours of total data integration on this one. I really like how it turned out! 👍

M106 .. pretty aggressive crop as this was imaged with a 347mm telescope and 3.76 micron pixel size on the camera. Back to processing to try to squeeze out more detail! #M106 #galaxy #astophotography #nycsky #zwo
Stunning image of spiral galaxy M106 (NGC 4258) captured from the Kuwaiti desert. This Seyfert galaxy, 23.5 million light-years away, features vibrant blue spiral arms, red dust lanes, and a bright core fueled by a massive black hole. Twin jets extend from the galaxy's center.

I'm still in the process of learning how to use my new #Astrophotography 🔭📷 camera and mitigate some weird artefacts that are probably due to internal reflections in my imaging train. Anyways, here's #M106 (and more) in LRGB for @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social to plate solve 😇.

Die Spiralgalaxie M106. Man sieht ca. 200 Sterne und sehr viele kleine Galaxien in den unterschiedlichsten Formen.

#M106
Letzte Nacht war es endlich mal klar, und ich konnte ein Astrobild machen.
Besonders faszinierend finde ich die schiere Zahl an Galaxien, die man im Bild finden kann.
