Description

My first project with my new Celestron EdgeHD 8 SCT, curing that aperture fever lol. NGC 6946 is a beautiful intermediate face on spiral galaxy set between the constellations Cygnus and Cepheus at is approximately 22 million light years from Earth. 

This is also my first DSO plate solved and imaged at F/10. Very impressive for the ZWO ASIAir Pro as this was not available in the past updates.
