NGC 7331

Catalog: Caldwell 30 / NGC 7331

Constellation: Pegasus

Telescope: 11-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain CPC

Camera: Canon Digital Rebel EOS SL1

Software: DeepSkyStacker (mine) and Adobe Photoshop (courtesy of my dad)

Exposure and ISO unknown; I took this picture way back in November and just now got around to posting it. Didn’t note down the details I should have.

NGC 7331 is an unbarred spiral galaxy about 40 million light-years away. I’m guessing it would look a lot better if I’d also remembered to take my “darks” at the right exposure time that night… As it is, I was barely able to bring out something decent in Photoshop.
