Description

I captured this image back in October of 2021 using a different scope and camera, 

https://www.astrobin.com/o6mjga/

I am thinking this image is just a bit better, although my stars are a bit oblong, it was really windy.  I took a lot of 30 second exposures, but the big oly 190mm Mak/Newt catches a lot of wind, so what can you do.  I also for fun put together a cropped image of the Stephan's Quintet vs. the Hubble and Davis Webb, not much of a comparison, LOL.    I was going to crop the image more to highlight NCG 7331 and the Stephan's Quintet, but there are so many other galaxies in the image, I hated to crop them out.

NGC 7331 is estimated to be 49 million light years away, the 4 galaxy above 7331 are between 310 million and 430 million light years away.

The Stephan's Quintet make up 5 galaxies that in close apparent distance to each other.  However, one galaxy NGC 7320 is around 39 million light years away where the other 4 are 210-340 million light years away.
