πŸ“Έ NGC 6946 and NGC 6939
This deep-sky image shows two cosmic neighbors in Cepheus: open star cluster NGC 6939 at 5,600 light-years and spiral galaxy NGC 6946, The Fireworks Galaxy, at 22 million light-years. Over 68 hours of exposure reveal stunning detail and faint dust lanes.

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
