Description

NGC7331 - The Deer Lick Group

Over the last week we have seen exceptional seeing at SRO, hovering around 0.8". To take advantage of this, I decided to go for something small, bright, and transits roughly through zenith. NGC7331 fit the bill quite nicely, and I committed a good 30-something hours to imaging it. At 0.2", this system is heavily oversampled by conventional means, and it would then be insane to even think about drizzling the data... but I decided to 2x drizzle this for fun anyways. This gave a really nice starting point for blurx to enhance the image. 

The end result is a really nice amount of detail! This scope is f/9, so the faint background dust is a bit out of reach for me due to its low surface brightness. Regardless I am quite happy with the photo.
