      Description

      NGC 7331 is the main reason I chose to image this area of the sky. After processing the data, I was surprised to find Stephan’s Quintet and several intriguing background galaxies came out in quite some detail. The most surprising aspect though was the amount of IFN in this area.
      Enjoy & CS
