Lovely widefield view. This is a nice fairly bright one through the eyepiece. :2thumbsup:

Nice one Clive ?Keep em coming!

At Mag +9.5 you have picked another faint but interesting fuzziy. 

With several hundreds more to go at within this range, you should be kept busy for a long time! And that's good for us too!☺️

 

Interesting fact :- NGC 7331 was one of 18 key galaxies chosen to calibrate the galactic distance scale, using the Hubble Space Telescope to obtain an accurate distance via Cepheid variable observations.

Thanks All -

The weather forecast was miles off - it said it would be clear for 5 hrs - no way it just went down hill after 1 hr after 23hr ( Star score went from 286 to 120 on the same object) plus high humidity due to the earlier rain.

Interesting facts - TA
