NGC 6946 - Fireworks Galaxy

[callump]

Looking for a patch of sky which looked better than most, I headed to Cygnus, which was setting to the west. Although over my neighbours house, I don't have too bad an outlook that way, with no major light polluting towns. 

Here is NGC 6946, the Fireworks Galaxy. There have been a few supernova discovered in it over the years, but I have not checked this image (yet!). Thought there are a lot of field stars in the area which makes checking tricky.

Framed to try and avoid the dust-bunny...
