Galaxy Double: NGC 7332 and 7339

[DarkerSky]

I love this pairing! 60 mly away and orbiting one another. How cool is that!?

NGC 7332 is the brighter stubbier galaxy with obvious central brightening. Magnitude 11. NGC 7339 is the fainter elongated patch of light which seemed not to have a brighter core. Magnitude 12.1 but much lower surface brightness. Gxs in the constellation of Pegasus and easy to find.

wow! really nice sketch! is your dob motorised or do you keep nudging and sketching? i think at 228x mag that would drive me up the wall - i'm guessing your mount's motions are smoother than mine!

great work.
