Description

I try this one every year and I always have a hard time with the color balance. I think the IFN in the area reddens the colors. I also was getting filaments in the red and Ha frames that can be seen at the top of the image and to the NW of the galaxy.

From The Hubble Space Telescope website:

NGC 7331 is similar in size, shape, and mass to the Milky Way. It also has a comparable star formation rate, hosts a similar number of stars, has a central supermassive black hole and comparable spiral arms. The primary difference between our galaxies is that NGC 7331 is an unbarred spiral galaxy — it lacks a “bar” of stars, gas and dust cutting through its nucleus, as we see in the Milky Way. Its central bulge also displays a quirky and unusual rotation pattern, spinning in the opposite direction to the galactic disc itself.
