I targeted NGC 1904 just to see if there was any dust in the area that
I could pick up with my little system. According to SIMBAD there was a
cloud Gal 228.0-28.6 relatively nearby but I could not find any images
of it to see how large and what it looked like. I imaged from
Australia, through high think clouds, and I was able to show this
galactic cloud and it's relative position to NGC 1904. The high, thin
clouds made all the brighter stars have halos -- I decided not to try
to clean them all up.

It is not the most exciting image but I am pretty pleased to pick up
such a faint galactic cloud.
Please ignore the haloed stars.
