Here is my #NGC6946 Fireworks Galaxy & Open Cluster #NGC6939 4hrs mix of 60s & 2min exposures using MN190 & @zwoasi 294MC Pro. The Galaxy is 25 Million light years away whereas the cluster is a mere 4,000 light years away. #Astrodon #Astro #Astrophotography #Photography #Space #Galaxy #Cluster #Astronomy
