      Description

      Stephan's Quintet, a beautiful group of galaxies in the constellation Pegasus. This group contains five galaxies: NGC 7317, NGC 7319, NGC 7318A/B and NGC 7320C 210-310 million light years away and a less distant  NGC 7320 at ~40 million light years. Stephan's Quintet  was also designated as a group of galaxies Arp 319 in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies by Halton Arp.

      This LRGB image was created using the data collected over a few nights in late August of 2022 with my mobile setup, the 10" f/4 Lacerta PhotoNewton and ZWO ASI294MM Pro camera riding on the Orion HDX-110 EQ-G mount.
