Description

M106 captured over three nights.
RGB : ss stars were accidently burned during the second night because 300s is too much for good those nice stars under a good sky, the star layer is restricted to the first session, totaling 46x300s. The outcome is not as good as hoped for but not that bad either. 
Ha/Oiii : In the final version, the RGB data are supplemented by Ha and Oiii data using an l-ultimate filter. Considering the size of the main object, the added value is not huge (compared to an object like M101 at the same focal length). However, the additional data brings a nice contrast to the center and the immediate periphery of the core of M106.

Clear skies !
