NGC6946 - Fireworks Galaxy

[RichieJarvis]

Well, I finally figured out what my 'rotation' problem was! My camera was loose on the M42 screwthread, and was rotating as the scope tracked

Still - even with severe rotation, I don't think this came out too bad...

My hope was to capture at least an hours worth of luminance data, but that was just not to be due to clouds
