Description

I heard NGC6946 was a difficult target as it's dim and hidden behind stars from the Milky Way. I collected as much data as I could while we had clear skies. Still, it was one of the most challenging images I've edited. I have managed to pull out some detail, but it still gets lost amongst the stars. Hopefully this is one I can revisit when my skills have developed further.
