Fireworks galaxy - NGC 6946 in LRVB

Version française :
Cette galaxie se situe dans le plan de la voie lactée, entre la constellation du Cygne et de Céphée.
Elle traverse donc pas mal de poussières, elle va ainsi manquer de contraste par rapport à une zone plus sombre dans le ciel.
Son nom de galaxie de feu d'artifices vient de la détection d'une dizaine de supernovas, avec un taux supérieur à plus de 10 fois à celui de notre voie lactée.
Sur cette image, on voit la présence de nombreuses tâches rouge, signalant une pléthores de régions gazeuses.
Un meilleur cadrage aurait permis de prendre en intégralité l'amas ouvert NGC6939, je ne l'ai vu qu'après coup !
Le ciel n'était pas d'une superbe qualité d'un point de vue FWHM mais le tableau reste fort sympathique avec cette myriades d'étoiles !

English version :
This galaxy is located in the plane of the Milky Way, between the constellation Cygnus and Cepheus.
It therefore crosses a lot of dust, so it will lack contrast compared to a darker area in the sky.
Its name of galaxy of fireworks comes from the detection of a dozen supernovae, with a rate greater than more than 10 times that of our milky way.
On this image, we see the presence of many red spots, signaling a plethora of gaseous regions.
A better framing would have made it possible to take the entire open cluster NGC6939, I only saw it after the fact!
The sky was not of a superb quality from a FWHM point of view but the picture remains very nice with this myriad of stars!

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
