Hi,
 

I captured this data last month and finally got around to processing it.
This is a cropped version of NGC 891. You can just make out the dusty
filaments in the halo. These patterns are extending into the halo of the
galaxy, away from its galactic disk. Scientists presume that supernova
explosions caused this interstellar dust to be thrown out of the galactic
disk toward the halo
