NGC
7331 is a large spiral with plenty of detail visible in CCD images.
The image here is the third attempt I made at capturing it. The first
two were spoiled by high clouds. The galaxy core appears quickly
in CCD images, but it required eight 20 minute exposures to bring out the
full extent. There are at lease five galaxies visible in this image.
