Thanks guys...but it was simply an afterthought image...

My main quarry so far has a few hours of data...much more needed, but I spotted *many* background galaxies that weren't showing up in any surveys.

Seems I've "discovered" a number of galaxies (e.g. the RC16 easily reveals many NOMAD survey stars to actually be galaxies), but running it by the professionals, seems at Mag 20, there are 1200 or so background galaxies
per degree, that while uncatalogued, sadly don't have a lot of scientific value.
