NGC6946-NGC6939 The Firework galaxy with open cluster and interstellar dust

This image was taken by my friend Marcell Csőke and Me togeather during summer of 2015.This is our very first cooperated picture, where we prodced the raw images and the processed image togeather as well. Our goal was to image the Cepheus's NGC6946 galaxy and NGC6939 open cluster in a nice compositon, and a good level of detail. The faintly visible dust cloud was only cherry on the cake. The eight diffraction spikes were created by rotating the two scopes around their longitudinal axis against each other by 45 deegre!
