As you have pointed out, it's a great field for background galaxies this one, was fun having a good surf around, great delineation of the different galaxy morphologies and colours too, an image worthy of the calibre of equipment used (BTW I can juuust see the decon used in the two small galaxies but not so much in the big one )

What's the red object in dead centre?

Great stuff

Mike

We're greatly encouraged by your comments, Mike. Thought you'd spot the decon. Its a fair cop, Gov. We're hoping that the red UFO in the direct centre is actually just the south galactic pole come adrift, or a loose reindeer nose, rather than yet another artifact. There's nothing at that spot in say the Capella Namibia shot, but ours seems deeper, so who knows.
