Pleiades continued

During the night of Monday October 15th, I could add 21 times 5 minute shots to the Pleiades project. Unfortunately the coverage of fields is slightly off, so I have an artefact on the lower right corner, where the images did not overlap. Well, there will always be something… 🙂

And my friend Marc Verhoeven has processed the image above a different way:

NGC7331 and friends

This group of galaxies in Pegasus has triggered my interest (sure I’m not alone). I spent a lot of imaging time th elast few clear nights on these objects. It’s NGC 7331 and it’s “fleas”, and then Stephan’s Quintet, a small group of 5 galaxies close by.

I imaged this with three options 60x300s Esprit, 64x300s C11 and 122x300s Esprit:
