About this image

This was my first visit to Canes Venatici and M106, which is something of a stretch for my equipment. However, with the help of a new moon + clear (covid-19) skies + longer integration time over 5-nights, the outcome was better than anticipated and I particularly like the adjacent galaxies which help to frame M106 nicely in the image.
