Next challenge - take an equally good photo out of car's window on the way to work
Dunno about that. But to beat the cloud it would be good to take a high flying jet above the clouds one night.

The result is attached and you do have quite a few. I obviously had to reduce it to post here but I can email you the original size one if you want it, (after all it is your image). I find it interesting to do this to my own images, so I thought you might too.
Thanks Rex. Yeah I realised there were more galaxies in the field, but just wanted to highlight the two brightest since they showed a little bit of structure and shape to them.
