Description

The galaxy NGC 6496 and open cluster 6939 right on the border of the constellations of Cepheus and Cygnus.

Up to this point I had always used a DSLR. This was my first foray into dedicated cameras. It was taken with a QHY8 (the original black cube model). Despite not having set point cooling it was a good camera and I still have it and use it occasionally.
