Description

Stephan's Quintet, as its name implies, is a group of five faint galaxies. Top right NGC 7331 is a spiral galaxy at a distance of 49 million light-years from Earth.

Taken in my backyard there were numerous cloud bands that came thru which did ruin a few of the exposures, but I was lucky and able to recover sufficient data.
