My solution is probably similar to Marty's.

Remote Pair 26,
ER on 2,
xy-wing 6-89,
skyscrapter on 6,
Either a Remote Pair on 26 with transport on 2 or a skyscraper on 2 with transport makes an identical deletion,
ER on 2 (another one),
coloring on 6 deletes a bunch to complete the puzzle.

I have a file of NR puzzles where single-digit turbot fish logic -- ER, Kite, Skyscraper, and finned/Sashimi X-Wing -- contributes significantly to the solution. This puzzle was from that file.

Code:
     b2  Naked  Pair                     <> 26   r1c6,r2c56
   c4    Naked  Pair                     <> 26   r45678c4
 r9      Naked  Pair                     <> 26   r9c25
 r5      Naked  Quad                     <> 2369 r5c48

 r39c4   Skyscraper                      <> 26   r2c1,r8c3   Remote Pair

 r7      Naked  Pair                     <> 69   r7c278
   c2b7  Locked Pair                     <> 45   r8c2
 r8  b9  Locked Candidate 1              <> 6    r8c256
 r8      Naked  Triple                   <> 239  r8c5
   c1b7  Locked Candidate 1              <> 6    r56c1

Code:
 c39r4   Skyscraper (Sashimi X-Wing)     <> 6    r2c2

 r2  b3  Locked Candidate 2              <> 6    r1c7

 c25\r15 finned  X-Wing                  <> 6    r5c6

If you'd like, the second block can be shortened to:

Code:
 finned Kraken X-Wing c25\r15 w/fin r6c5         =>  r5c6<>6
 Kraken: (6)r2c2 - r2c789 = r1c7 - r1c5 = r56c5  =>  r5c6<>6
 +--------------------------------------------------------------+
 |  5    *267   9     |  4    *26    1     |  267   3     8     |
 |  8    @267   4     |  5     39    39    |  1267  1267  67    |
 |  1     3     26    |  26    7     8     |  5     4     9     |
 |--------------------+--------------------+--------------------|
 |  4     1     26    |  379   8     5     |  2367  2679  67    |
 |  239  *269   5     |  17   *2369  239-6 |  8     17    4     |
 |  239   8     7     |  139  #2369  4     |  1236  1269  5     |
 |--------------------+--------------------+--------------------|
 |  69    45    3     |  8     1     69    |  47    57    2     |
 |  7     29    8     |  39    45    239   |  46    56    1     |
 |  26    45    1     |  26    45    7     |  9     8     3     |
 +--------------------------------------------------------------+
 # 69 eliminations remain

Bottom Line: Two good examples by Marty and Ted of working through the puzzle!
