NGC 7331, Deer Lick Group and Stephan's Quintet by Bryan Cogdell

Galaxy Field NGC 7331 w/Deer Lick Group & Stephan’s Quintet

Just 3 x 15 min L and 2 x 15min each RGB 2×2

Scope : AP130 Gran Turismo
Mount: AP900GTO
Camera: Parsec 8300M
Lazy processing in MaxIm DL and Photoshop.

The faintest of the galaxies in Stephan’s Quintet is mag 14.7. I can detect the 5 galaxies with my SkyQuest XT10. With a 12″ and up, it’s even more obvious. Cool to observe, cool to image.

NGC 7331 itself will be a great galaxy to capture with more focal length! Perhaps the 10″ f/10 needs to have a go at this one.
