Thumbs up NGC7331 Group

Here is my lastest attempt from a few nights ago. The NGC7331 "Deer Lick" galaxy group. I think this is my best shot yet of this group, I've bee trying for a while to get a decent image of this. I tried using a faster exposure (2.5 seconds) on my autoguiding camera (Meade DSI) rather than 5+ seconds I've been trying.
This seemed to help the drift problem a lot! I still have slightly elongated stars, but this is a huge improvment.

Thanks! I've always found this to be a pretty challenging object to image. This is my best one of this one yet.
