In fact, with 16", you should be able to see all 9 of the "companions". Here's a chart: http://www.ngcic.org/dss/dss_ngc.asp and pick 7300-7399, then choose 7331 Data I've seen all of them in my 12.5" Some are very small--essentially stellar, but bright enough to be seen. While in the area, Stephan's Quintet is only 30' away. Don't forget to look. -------------------- Don Pensack 12.5" Truss Dob, 5" Maksutov Sustaining Lifetime IDA member, TeleVue junkie Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on Saw all 4 companions of NGC 7331 last night! lymorkiew45 07/30/08 05:23 PM Re: Saw all 4 companions of NGC 7331 last night!
