NGC7331 & Stephan's Quintet: preview of a long term job!

Back here to share the first step of an image that I will continue to integrate, is the first approach to this beautiful field in Pegaso with tiny galaxies on background, in addition to the notes of the title, enhanced by IFN powders that I cannot bring out because the sky was not the best and I was in my backyard, but hope to be able to integrate from mountain skies soon

The image is a light crop due to a bit of field rotation (I didn't aligned the finder guide so great was the rush!) and a small sensor shift which is evident even in flat frame, unfortunately the clamping system of the original chinese fok based on two screws at 90 ° decentralizes the "nose" of the reflex.
Only 16x12' 800iso with idas filter D1, but as a start I'm satisfied with the performance of the FR APccdt67 at about 73mm from the chip, fast down to f/5.6

As always, comments and criticisms are welcome, even if it's just a preview

Clear skies,
Elio
