Description

Stephan's Quintet is a visual grouping of five galaxies of which four form the first compact galaxy group ever discovered. The group, visible in the constellation Pegasus, was discovered by Édouard Stephan in 1877 at the Marseille Observatory. The group is the most studied of all the compact galaxy groups. Wikipedia

*** I'm not really happy with the outcome - lots of boogers, but after many hours of fiddling and diddling it's time to move on and perhaps come back another day and try it again.
