Description

I've always wanted to try this target, particularly getting the Fireworks Galaxy in there too!  I think this could've done with a fair bit more integration time to be honest, but the moon is back and who knows when clear moonless nights will return?!...

The platesolve is interesting, I didn’t realise the Fireworks Galaxy straddles the boundary between Cygnus and Cepheus.  Also wondering why the boundaries are so unusually shaped!
