During a September's night enough frames were acquired with the 6"-Newton and the Touptek to show the beautiful pair of the spiral galaxy NGC 6946 and the open cluster NGC 6939 together with a dense star field of our local home galaxy plus a sprinkling of interstellar dust.
Im August of the previous year I imaged the NGC 6946 alone with the White Elephant.
Even in the early days of my astrophotography adventure I imaged this pair:
