The accumulation during the full moon is of course small, but I was able to bring out the outer shell, and the neighboring galaxy crept in too—in general, it seems okay for deep sky, at least the stack was more pleasant to process than with a DSLR.

In the future I generally plan to do a lucky image with the C6 and also gather about 2 more hours, but I don't know when I'll manage that.

Oh, and I tried to do RGB stars, but it seems I collected too little.
