Description

The Firewheel Galaxy NGC6946 ist quite interesting - the color is different from most others and it is rather dim in the skies. I tried to catch it with a totally different camera - the new Uranus C OSC camera. (non-cooled, IMX 585 sensor, 3856x2180 pixel, 2.9micron size, 11.2x6.3mm FOV, optimum gain=181).

The camera is a bit noisy but it can be eliminated with good darks. Interesting pixel size, small FOV - quite interesting to test it out.

The result was rather good, I think - the price is very low and the camera itself is very small.

The 150 subs at 120sec each were taken during two nights - June 11 and 12.
