Orestis
ps-can you give me some info on how you did the sketch eg.type of pencil,computer enhancements etc.
Thanks Orestis, yeah, I did upload it later. All I did was traced a circle & and marked the galaxies with an HB pencil, approximately according to position, size & brightness that I saw them. Scanned the image & inverted in Photoshop. Filled the black outside the circle with white using the Paint Bucket Tool. The galaxies were rough & scratchy, so I just kept applying a Gaussian blur to them until they were smoothed out.

The sketch wasn't supposed to be accurate - I didn't put any stars in and it was only meant to be a guide to how all the galaxies fitted into the field. And it was a very tight thing to get them all into the field of view!!

Cheers -
