NGC7331

The first non messier galaxy for me. I thought that all of them were faint, but this fella aint. (I'm a poet and I don't even know It!!?) I could not separate any spiral arms, but the core was distinguished from a fuzzy containing the rest of the galaxy. Orientation could be clearly seen also. Nearby there is a stephans quintet, which I have not seen yet (maybe next night).
