Description

M106 and the surrounding neighbourhoodThe main galaxy in this image is M106. The small galaxy just to the left of M106 is NGC4248, and the larger edge on galaxy towards the bottom is NGC4217. I have cropped the image to highlight the starfield around NGC4217, which I thought was rather lovely.Thanks for looking.
