NGC7331/Stephen's quintet

Was able to get a few more hours of clear sky last night. Seeing was
crappy, but I used the 10" Newt and SXV-H16 anyway.

I just had time to get the luminance of this very cool area. The large
chip allowed me to get 7331 and the quintet in a single frame, and with
good resolution despite seeing.

Beautiful, Rick! Why the short subs?

That is perfectly processed, Rick.
I often look at CCDWare's calculated times and think "That seems too short to be right", but it's hard to argue against someone who has logic and solid mathematical analysis on their side.
An excellent image, even at full resolution.
