NGC's 6946 and 6939 in Cepheus.

Wanted a different target while waiting for Orion last night , couldn't decide between a galaxy or a cluster so went for one of each . . .

Just 15 x 300 s + 5 darks @ ISO 800 in this , ED80 Pro + F/F + 1000D + HEQ5Pro + Synguider.

Very nice It would be interesting to see a tighter shot of the galaxy. Looks like it could be quite pretty.

Hi James ,

I think I'll pop the 200PDS on the rig tonight and have a closer go at it , this one was cropped quite a bit and is as close as I can get with it.

OK that's better ,

I've just switched back to the Original Photobucket from the beta version they thrust upon me.

The new one doesn't automatically copy the full size image , it limits to 1024 x 1024 ?

I've just edited the post to include the full size shot which lets you click on it to zoom in a bit . . .
