RA22_38 DEC33_58

Sedro-Woolley, Wa.

This 1X1.5 degree image in the constillation Pegesus is centered at about RA22hrs 38min Dec 33deg 58min with celestial North up.
There are two galactic clusters, one to the top just right of center and another to its lower right.
The prominent galaxy in the upper part of the image is NGC7331, discovered by William Herschel in 1784, is about 40 million light years distant.
Four of the nearest galaxys to the left of NGC7331, are NCG7336,7335,7337,&7340.
Stevens Quintet, to the lower right of NGC7331, is a group of five galaxys that appear in very close proximity to each other.
A sixth galaxy is just to the left, and the fifth, to the right looks somewhat like a bloated star.
By clicking on origonal, there can be other galaxys found, as well as all the noise I couldn't filter out.
