NGC 7331 Multi Galaxy Sys 
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.
