NGC 6946 described from a Spanish E-EyE remote observator. The fall of the picture has practically gone this autumn. Not all channels have been taken from the moonless sky. There have been several supernovae in the galaxy and that's what the nickname Fireworks Galaxy seems to be.

The exposures went as follows:
L: 24x240s, R: 25x480, G: 16x480 and B: 15x480. All bin1.

The camera is an older generation SBIG-STL11000M and the shooting tube is OfficisinaStellare RiDK 300 f / 8.

Additional information

Observation target
- Deep space object
Designation
- NGC 6946

Galaxies
- Spiral galaxy
  
  Spiral galaxy is a stellar system where there are outwards arched spiral arms from roundish (spiral galaxies) or bar-shaped (barred spiral galaxies) central condensation.
  
  The apparent shape of spiral galaxied depends on out observation direction. From above they are quite round. From the side they lens-shaped with a bulge in the middle.
  
  Generally a rather large instrument, good weather conditions and observational expereince are needed to see spiral arms. Usually spiral galaxies look like a fuzzy spots.

Hienoa nähdä kuvia muiltakin E-Eye-käyttäjiltä.
Hyvä galaksikuva.
