Here is my Fireworks Galaxy & Open Cluster 4hrs mix of 60s & 2min exposures using MN190 & @zwoasi 294MC Pro. The Galaxy is 25 Million light years away whereas the cluster is a mere 4,000 light years away.

NGC 6946 Fireworks Galaxy

Magnitude 9.6 face-on intermediate spiral galaxy located 25.2 million light-years away between the constellations Cepheus and Cygnus. 10 supernovae have been observed in NGC 6946. That is about 10X the rate observed in our own galaxy, even though the Milky Way has 2X as many stars. For this reason, NGC 6946 is often referred to as the "Fireworks Galaxy".
