Update 2014-03-17: You may be interested in viewing a collaboration between myself and Robert Gendler on this group of galaxies, available here. He also has a good description you can read about here.

I have been frustrated searching for novel datasets so I ended up processing Stephan's Quintet instead of anything new just to have something to do. These large format images are very beautiful but I find them to be among the most difficult to work with. There are a lot of big annular flares and a decent amount of cosmic rays to contend with this time. Anyway, this is one of the coolest groups of galaxies in the sky. I think the two galaxies in the center look like they are high-fiving one another.

Note that I did increase saturation for the vivid red and blue areas.

North is almost up. It is 5.2° counter-clockwise from up.
