M105 with NGC 3371 (left) and NGC 3373 (below), a galaxy triplet in Leo. Taken from home, with the 130mm AP apo refractor at f/6 and Canon 7D at ISO 800 for a stack of 5 x 8 minute exposures, the last in moonlight after moonrise.
Stack of four 10-minute exposures with Canon 20Da at ISO400 and with 5-inch AP scope at f/4.5. Taken April 24.
The large and bright galaxy Messier (M) 106, in Canes Venatici in the northern spring sky. This is a fine example of a spiral galaxy accompanied by many companion galaxies in the galaxy-ruch northern spring sky. At left is the edge-on galaxy NGC 4346; at top right is another edge-on NGC 4220; while at lower right is yet another edge-on NGC 4217 amid a nice field of colourful stars. The galaxy just to the right of M106 is NGC 4248. The faintest galaxies here are about 15th magnitude. This is a stack of 20 x 6-minute exposures at ISO 1600 with the Canon EOS Ra through the Astro-Physics 130mm EDT apo refractor at f/6 with the 6x7 field flattener. Starizona's Galaxy Enhance action applied overall to the image. Taken from home April 14/15, 2021. Slight high haze added some star glows.
