"James Webb"s "Stephan's Quintet" galaxies in my Newtonian telescope + Deer's Lick group of galaxie
Being inspired by James #Webb Space Telescope results I decided to test whether it is possible to make an image of Stephan's Quintet group of galaxies 210-340 min light years from our #galaxy using an average amateur Newtonian telescope. So I went under Bortle 3 skies to do #astrophotography there. It was not so easy, really challenging, so please watch - and you will understand that this target is not trivial and that was a real quest for me, but I enjoyed it much!
