NGC 7331, The Deerlick Group from the BMO

Monday October 7th was our club's imaging group, the Tuesday Night imagers, imaging session for the week at the club's observatory. I was unable to join in person as I had a work meeting, but joined via Zoom once my work meeting was over. The evening started out cloudy, so we worked on getting flats and worked on some processing in PixInsight. It cleared after 9 pm so we slewed the club's 14" Celestron Edge HD to NGC 7331 per a member's suggestion. We managed to collect 21 subs at 300 seconds each for 1.75 hours total exposure.
NGC 7331 is the prominent spiral galaxy in the image. It is located in the constellation Pegasus and is 47 million light-years from Earth. NGC 7331 is about 127,800 light-years across. The group contains four other members also known as 'The Fleas". They are formally known as NGC 7335, NGC 7336, NGC 7337, & NGC 7340.
