Description

11-23-22. NGC 6946 (Fireworks Galaxy). 3 hrs 40 mins in 2 min subs with C6 XLT at f6.3 with ZWO ASI533MC camera. Bortle 5-6. There is some coma but the C6 is an inexpensive scope.  I used the Celestron 0.63x focal reducer but I'm told the Starizona 0.63 x (which I also have but haven't used much yet) might produce a result with improved coma correction.  I may try it next time.
