Description

This wide field including the Deer Lick group of galaxies and the beautiful Stephan's Quintet has been in my to do for a while. This year I have the right equipment to make it happen. At 750 mm, it is possible to capture both groups and still get decent detail of these interacting galaxies. Overall these galaxies are about 300 million light years away!. It is so amazing that one can capture them just from the backyard.
In my location, I can get a good view for about 5 hours. The sky was clear the whole session and the guiding was pretty good, so I was able to integrate all subs.
