Very nice wide field full of galaxies, if you convert the image to monochrome and invert it, the faint galaxies become very apparent! I really like it... I love seeing wide fields of bunches of galaxies.. Shows of the vastness of the universe...

Trevor : Telescope optics make little difference to the magnitude of the objects you're able.. It would if you were trying to spot it visually, but for a camera, it just means longer exposure... an ED80 could get down to magnitude 20 if you had the right camera and expose long enough.
