The Deer Lick group, Stephan's Quintet and IFN

Some more northern gems. I think this is the first image I have posted from our new SRO configuration of Ceravolo 300 (just like mine at home!) and FLI PL-16803 camera.

At the bottom left is NGC7331 and the Deer Lick group. At top right is Stephan's Quintet. The field contains a lot of IFN so I've gone for a slightly misty, dreamy look.

As usual, there is a full res version available on Astrobin: http://www.astrobin.com/213349/

Hope you enjoy it. If you don't feel free to tell me why We were having some collimation issues so there are definitely some small warts on this one.

Cheers,
Rick.
