I've got more work to do to improve my guiding and alignment, but progress is getting faster. I'm really excited.

Los desafíos de observar la estructura espiral en las galaxias son muchos. Las dos consideraciones más importantes son el brillo de los brazos y los espacios o la distancia entre ellos. Los brazos de alto contraste son más fáciles de observar en detalle con telescopios más pequeños. Y a veces, una galaxia con menos brazos, como una espiral barrada, que a menudo tiene dos, presenta una estructura…

Explanation: What's happening at the center of spiral galaxy M106? A swirling disk of stars and gas, M106's appearance is dominated by blue spiral arms and red dust lanes near the nucleus, as shown in the featured image taken from the Kuwaiti desert. The core of M106 glows brightly in radio waves and X-rays where twin jets have been found running the length of the galaxy. An unusual central glow makes M106 one of the closest examples of the Seyfert class of galaxies, where vast amounts of glowing gas are thought to be falling into a central massive black hole. M106, also designated NGC 4258, is a relatively close 23.5 million light years away, spans 60 thousand light years across, and can be seen with a small telescope towards the constellation of the Hunting Dogs (Canes Venatici).
