My take on this starfield using the ASI533mc and Astromaster 130 on HEQ5 pro managed by Kstars/Ekos on RPi. 40x60s subs (no flats or darks) processed in Siril and star reduction done in Gimp. This was taken on Fri night when the moon was quite bright, lots of patchy clouds and plenty of dew. 

The fireworks galaxy is 22 million ly from us and is named so because of the number of supernovae that have been observed in it.

There is plenty of coma around the edges and focus is not perfect, but I quite liked this image. Comments welcome.
