Description

I made a mistake entering the wrong RA coordinates for NGC 6946 Galaxy that I wanted to frame with NGC 6939 cluster. I was 10 minutes off in RA when I was setting up my image capture software. It was late setting the target up and rushed through it. I did not realize it until I captured a couple images and noticed that the galaxy was missing. The image was nice and sharp so I decided to let the whole sequence run.

I was surprised what I captured. A couple faint nebula and a vary large faint cloud throughout the whole image. In addition I caught a partial asterism in the process. The final image came out nice and decided to keep all the data.

FOUND  Still trying to figure out what I caught
