NGC 6946 Fireworks galaxy
Taking a lead from Gerald & David I imaged this galaxy without a filter and as David pointed out at last week's meeting, yellow hasn't been suppressed. Less than half the size of our galaxy, it still produces 10 times more supernova. Hence the 'Firework' name. I discarded the 21 x 10 minute subs in order to retain the colour.
