NGC 6946 - Right forum?
      #3409790 - 10/25/09 11:50 AM Attachment (11 downloads)

Not sure where this goes anymore. Here is NGC 6946 from last night, shot with my ancient parallel port ST-7. It is 7 ten minute Luminance images taken at F5 through my C9.25. I normally post in the other CCD forum, but maybe my old CCD belongs here? I don't know.

I will try for some color later, if the weather holds up.

Well done Paul. You captured some great detail in the arms. Keep it up and add some color. Was your seeing a little soft? Focus looks off a bit which could also be caused by falling temps.
