Thanks, Martin. I would have liked to hear that talk!

It's funny how it looks like the IFN and galaxy are interacting. I think that NGC7497 gives a very similar impression: http://www.astrobin.com/full/272652/0/. Same with M81 too. I assume it's just our brains filling in patterns that don't really exist.

Thanks, Colin. The IFN colour is pretty much as PCC painted it so I think it's real
