This was an opportunistic image of Fireworks Galaxy whilst waiting for the Bubble Nebula to appear from behind a tree.   This is a very wide field image taken with the William Optics FLT91 and 6AIII 0.8x reducer, which also includes the open cluster NGC6939.   Cropped to focus a bit more on the galaxy.
