The Fireworks Galaxy
I’ve never been happy with the images I’ve taken of NGC 6946, aka the Fireworks Galaxy, even those taken with the big rig. This image is a little better than most I have managed. It’s around 6 hours of integration time, including 75 minutes of narrowband integrations, which didn’t really contribute much to the image. It was stacked and processed in Siril, Affinity, and Topaz.
