When you talk about "tidal", do you mean what looks like a faint tidal stream extending from the left side of the galaxy?
This is the tidal stream I'm talking about:
Maybe I'm wrong
Hello Manuel:
Your beautiful deep portrait of NGC 7331 and its surrounding sky environs is stunning! Congratulations! However, I do not believe you have captured a stellar stream. This area of the sky is littered with galactic cirrus (IFN) and I strongly suspect the area you encircled is simply an example of this cosmic fluff.
