Description

On October 8th 2020 I was running tests with N.I.N.A. (Night Imaging "N" Astronomy). I decided to collect about 2 hours of data on the Fireworks galaxy (NGC 6946). About 40 minutes into the session I noticed some small cirrus clouds in the direction of the target. I decided to continue the session since N.I.N.A was still collecting data well enough to complete my testing.

Once I blinked the data the clouds were very apparent in the images. The odd thing was the clouds appeared nearly stationary in one location. I decided to go ahead and process the image to see what the final image would look like. This image is the final result.
