• Target: NGC 7331, Deer Lick Group[1]
• Const: Pegasus
• RaDec: 22h37m +34°24
• Type: Galaxy
• Scope: AT102ED
• Setting: 55x, AV

Pretty easy to find. The largest galaxy runs almost north and south and does not require AV to see. I took extra time to attempt to spot the other galaxies. The smaller circles on the drawing indicate areas where I detected noise, though some of them might be wrong.

After removing and adding the filter a few times for comparison, I'm not sure that it made too much of a difference in the nebulosity. The cluster was pretty easy to find though.
