Description

As the currently only surviving member in my telescope family of a reflecting nature, I took the MN190 out to image a few smaller galaxies - just to see what it could do. At 1000mmm some of the smaller targets are definitely lacking detail and at only 190mm aperture, the dim ones are lacking some signal. Bright and large targets like the fireworks galaxy however are nicely framed and represented by this scope - at least so far. Enjoy this short integration of NGC 6946.
