Just a quick exposure of galaxies centered on NGC7331 with Stephan's Quintet in upper right. Scope was 180F9 with STL11K camera. Exposure 6 x 10 minutes at my light polluted observatory.

Hi Roland,
Beautiful image, NGC 7331 shows good detail, Stephan's Quintet shows nicely, and lots of little galaxies sprinkled about. I think that image scale is close to ideal for most sites, about 1.3 arc seconds per 9 micron pixel. Did you use a filter?
Regards,
Dave
