NGC7331


Twenty years ago I saw this galaxy for the first time through the eyepiece of a telescope – an Island group of stars over 40 million light years away in the constellation Pegasus. It’s is only fitting that now after my own fiftieth voyage around our home star that I am just beginning to capture in a picture what I remember from all those years ago. Total exposure time of 15.75 hours.
