About this image

I needed to fill a slot in my Takahashi rig last night, having run out of targets which rose early enough. I thought I would see what I could do with this focal length on NGC7331 and its supernova. Was quite surprised to see Stephan's Quintet was a close neighbour which I had imaged at 2320mm last week! This is a crop of the view at 530mm and there is a reasonable level of detail and colour, it's a very rich field.
