What an inspiring image, Paul. I have spent many hours gazing at this wonderful galaxy in my SDM scope, and it is my favourite galaxy in the southern sky by a country mile. To be able to see so much fine detail in your image is a real thrill. I notice particularly the two quite large field galaxies....I wonder what magnitude they are, and whether under ideal conditions I would have any hope of seeing them (with a bucket of "averted imagination"??).

Anyway, an absolute cracker. Thanks for posting this great image.
