I have been interested in Stephan's Quintet for some time and on 6/25 I tried it. I knew it would be small with my camera equipment, but wanted to try. Then I saw the pic in the EarthSky newsletter of the same date only a few hours after taking my pics and while my pic is not nearly as spectacular as the pic NASA published it still reminded me that as earth residents we can still explore space with our camera equipment. To me it was exciting to see and/or capture the pic of Stephan's Quintet and the Deer Lick Group next to it.
