Default NGC6946 Galaxy & NGC6939, & IC5146 Cacoon
Hi All,

Shots from last weekend, this is a beautiful spiral....and open cluster pair.
NGC 6946 Spiral Galaxy & NGC 6939 Open Cluster on the Cepheus Cygnus Border both in this wide angle shot. The second image is a wide angle shot of IC 5146 The Cacoon Nebula in Cygnus.

Here are some more test shots with a wide angle setup, TAK SKY 90 & ST10 CCD, LRGB for 15 minute exposures.

Not bad for 90 mm scope .....Captured remotely via the net at remote scopes in NM(RAS-Observatory.org)
