Simply superb!  One of the very best of M 106. Maybe THE best.  

Which new software?

CS, Bob

Hi Bob,

     The suite of Russ Croman softwares and some other PS plugins from Topaz ... I use PS exclusively for image processing.  It used to be "just PS" ... but now there are all these other softwares that can do amazing things.  The single most important IMHO is the ability to process the stars and subject matter separately.  That one is huge.

    Thanks for the kind words,

        Tony

Excellent resolution Tony, certainly among the most detailed amateur images I have seen! This galaxy is just amazing 😄
Hopefully the weather will improve shortly at your latitude?
CS!
