m106

Despite several previous attempts, am still jinxed on this one. This time it was the haze and the wrong camera orientation. Anyway, it's probably the best core detail I've had, alas lacking in the outer arms.

Not giving up though. A sack barrow may come in handy to carry the 10" f5 from the spare room to the mount otherwise one night soon it'll be broken toe disaster yet again. Not easy a sw250p alone. And sack barrows are just about the best thing against coronavirus. Can I call the spare room the telescope room yet I wonder?
