Spiralgalaxie NGC 5907 und Supernova SN2017eaw in NGC 6946, Session from 09.05.2017 - 21.05.2017

On 09.05. I made a short 300 secs full moon snapshot of the fireworks galaxy. After a few days a Supernova became visible and I photographed the galaxy again. The animation shows the comparison between the two images. In addition, I used the short nights to capture the spiral galaxy NGC 5907. The galaxy in edge position makes a good figure.


See here the supernova in NGC 6946 as videoanimation of the two images:

 

 

During the three nights for the spiral galaxy NGC 5907, only a little more than 6 hours came together. On the one hand the nights are already very short, on the other hand I had to struggle with some difficulties. During two nights the heating of the secondary mirror failed, so against 1 o'clock the mirror was dewed and every picture was unusable afterwards. Fun fact on the edge: On the second night suddenly the movement alarm went off in the Obsy and my smartphone rattled. The villain was a small spider, which was driving directly in front of the IR-Sensor and the camera :-)

The final LRGB image is looking quite nice ...
