Stephan's Quintet & Deer Lick Group

On 10/27/2024 01:00 am by Andy Dungan| Near Cotopaxi, Colorado USA

Over the years I have ran into pics and discussions of these two objects. Both are rather small and close together. Their data and histories are fun too (see Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephan%27s_Quintet & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_7331_Group). Both of these would be seen better with a 2000mm telescope and my 600mm telescope with a small format camera takes a pretty good pic. What fun exploring the universe is. I seem to be on a roll lately, lots of clear skies and a motivated photographer.
