I captured M106 from my astronomy club’s dark sky location at Crowley Nature Center
in northeast Sarasota County, Florida. I was able to detect structure quite easily
under dark, transparent skies, and it made for an enjoyable sketch.
This sketch was rendered on Strathmore Windpower Sketch paper with a General’s Extra
Black Layout pencil. MGI Photosuite III was used for post processing.

Great again Jason very realistic. I just can’t get my star images to reproduce as tightly as yours. Keep them coming.
Warm regard’s Dale
Jason,
This is a wonderful sketch of the galaxy M-106.
With a good dark sky this one shows off the way you have rendered it. Excellent!

Thank you Dale and Frank!
Dale, you are doing great, just keep up the good work. Frank, this galaxy is one of my favorites in the Messier Catalog and dark skies made this observation a treat.
