Description

Star cluster NGC 6939 lies around 4000 light-years away in our Milky Way galaxy, while NGC 6946, the Fireworks Galaxy, is about 15 million light-years fron us.

The sky transparency became very poor after less than an hour after I began imaging this field, so as of now I only have 24 subs to work with.
