I saw an image of this for the first time, about a year and an half ago at an astrophotography session at a local astronomy show, this is my second attempt. Last year I tried with a 12 inch Meade ACS, but tracking at that focal length was hard.  I have stepped back for a wider field of view, including NGC  6939
