Bob,
Thanks. I forget who, but someone said they had counted 40 galaxies. Not
exactly the Hubble deep field image, but pretty cool.

Excellent resolution.
Those are some very faint fuzzies in the background!
Thank you,

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

The full frame version can be seen here
