Description

After some images of galaxies near Markab, I thought about trying to get a photo of the Pegasus I Galaxy Cluster, but decided against it. I'll tackle galaxy clusters after I get better at this and can take longer exposures. Instead, I decided to go back to NGC 7331, but with a stop at Stephan's Quintet (Arp 319, HCG 92) first. This was my second attempt at a photo of Stephan's Quintet. My first attempt was a little disappointing, but I've learned quite a bit since then and wanted to try again. This time I did a better job capturing the faint, disrupted galaxy arms. But this group of galaxies is much more challenging than I expected, given the quality of images I've seen in magazines and on the Internet.
