Thank you for sharing your photos - this is exactly what this project is all about! :-)
The Fireworks Galaxy (NGC 6946) is 22 million light-years away from us and has a diameter of about 40,000 light-years. The galaxy's angular size is 11.5'x9.5'. NGC 6939 is an open star cluster, 3900 light-years away from us, consisting of approximately 500 stars, and looks like scattered diamond dust! The cluster's angular size is 9'x9'. Both objects are certainly like two pearls in the crown of the constellation Cepheus! Captured in one night on monochrome, in RGB format.
