Greetings to all astronomy enthusiasts! Not long ago, a supernova explosion was spotted in one of the galaxies, namely in the galaxy NGC 7331. In the few days after I learned this news, I had the idea to photograph this galaxy together with the supernova, but circumstances were not in my favor. Moreover, the nearby group of interacting galaxies called Stephan's Quintet naturally further increased my desire to capture this object. And only very recently I managed to accomplish what I had planned, but unfortunately already without the supernova in the frame.

Why is there no supernova in the frame? Well, even though it has already faded significantly in brightness, there is a faint star next to the nucleus in your shot. So the intended goal was achieved)
