About this image

Mixed cloud cover but when they cleared for a while wow. A very clear night.

ARP319 to the lower right and the lovely NGC7331 spiral to upper left including a whole entourage of smaller companions within the group.

Another evening I will use the same framing, but do a much deeper exposure and properly plate solve and try and annotate all those other small fuzzies visible across the whole field..

It never fails to amaze me how much a relatively simple set up can yield.
Processed using AstroArt9.

Excitingly I think I can just make out SN 2026aaiv near NGC7331 core.
