Well it seems my Lambda Centauri image from early in the week wasn't my last before moving house
I managed a few hours on the region in Corvus around the "Antennae" or "Ringtail" interacting galaxy pair on Thursday night/Friday morning. (ed: two nights in the week with only 2 hrs sleep doesn't make working during the day easy
)
There are litterally 100's and 100's of galaxies in this image perhaps 1000's? so I have posted the full frame (4000 x 2600) image at reasonable jpeg resolution (2.3meg) so you can scroll around finding all the interesting things in the image.

If anyone cares to try perhaps you might be able to determine a limiting magnitude...?
If you are impatient and would like to just hit the showcase object in the image, here is a crop from the full frame image of the amazing interacting pair or galaxies NGC 4038/4039 often refered to as the "Ringtail" or "Antennae" galaxy (1.5meg):

Here's a close up from the right hand side of the image showing what appears to be a distant galaxy cluster (or two?) left of the bright field star..?

Lots more in imaging than just getting a pretty picture, the things you can reveal can be astounding
Cheers
