Other members of this group include the smaller galaxies NGC 7335 and NGC 7337 located just a bit higher in this image, but ten times farther away. NGC 7331 is one of the brighter galaxies overlooked by Messier in his catalog, being discovered in 1784 by William Herschel. Patrick Moore entered this object as Caldwell 30 in his more modern catalog. Light captured in this image originally left theis galaxy 46 million years ago, when mammals began their dominence of earth. My, the times, they are a changing. This image combined 135 minutes luminance exposures with 30 minutes of red, green and blue exposures. An ST10XME camera was used with a 0.67x AP reducer through a Meade 12" LX200R at the Hidden Lake Observatory. |
