The last Galaxy of my season as the nights are so short. NGC6946

[Star101]

Last night was such a clear night I could not resist imaging something. I set my scope up and let it roll. Imaged from 00:17 unitl 03:17...After which the subs where too light.

Out of quite a few miss starts, fails and resets. I finally got going on NGC6946.

Processed while relaxing after a beautiful day but with tired eyes.

19 x 300s Subs Atik 4120EX OSC with IDAS LP filter.

C11 2800mm on Mesu 200. And guided with Lodestar x2 on ZWO OAG.

That’s some going Dave, fantastic. Would you happen to have a photo of the C11 on the mesu200? (Doesn’t everyone need a big SCT in their life 😎)

Had another go at processing. 

Darkened the background and reduced the noise a little...or is that, moved the noise elsewhere   Well, its only 95 mins of data at f/10 lol.
