I think this one just squeezes into my FOV so I better add it to my imaging list

Thanks Rolf. I am tempted to go quite a bit longer on this image to get all the faint back ground galaxies and see how far that halo really does extend out. Your long duration imaging runs have me wondering how much depth could be achieved on some of the projects I have in the mill and planned over the next year.

Wow, if it just squeezes in you might have some interesting detail if you get enough nights of good seeing.
