NGC6946 and SN2004ET

Here is an image I took of the galaxy NGC6946 which also shows the increasingly dim SN2004ET. I have attached a midsize image, but a full size image can be accessed at:

The full size image has an arrow pointing to the location of SN2004ET. It looks like SN2004ET is getting kind of red...

Scope was my C8 at f/6.9, Camera was the Artemis285. Image taken 8-July-2005

Total exposure time is about 67 minutes.

I just started a series of images of NGC6946 about 5 minutes ago and thought I'd come in and search out a few pictures on the Web while I'm waiting and there is your's.

It's a nice shot.

What was the timing and processing of your sequence of color images? Are you in a darker site or fighting light pollution as well. I just recently purchased an SBIG CFW-8a and am still getting used to it.

Thanks for posting it.

Very nice image Jim!
