Hi, Peter, John, Rodney, Colin, Dunk, Fred, Andy,

Just back after spending a fortune at Bunnings. Thanks for the supportive comments.

We suspect that using averted imagination, and a glass of armagnac, there just might be thin spiral arms around 2 and 3 o'clock extending out a long way past the obvious edge of the galaxy. One thinks of the tidal tails that show up around NGC 1097 in deep binned stacks, but these look more like just ridiculously faint hints of spiral arms. Perhaps there's nothing there at all, but it might be worth going really deep some time.
