Description

Fireworks Galaxy NGC6946 with 5h of integration (1817*10s), captured in the past three nights from my Bortle 3/4 home, at 1050m (3500ft) altitude using the ZWO Seestar S50. Data was stacked and processed in Pixinsight.
This is a rather small but great-looking spiral galaxy. It shows good detail with just a few hours of integration from darker skies with the Seestar.

The name "Fireworks" galaxy is due to its very frequent supernova activity.
