Fantastic effort Mike. Thanks for taking the time to identify them and for sharing your results. Demonstrates again the immense power of amateur astrophotography with quality equipment to go real deep.

As a measure of how far technology has come I doubt that 20 years ago the Mt Palomar 200" using the best hypered film technology could go much deeper than you've done.

I wonder what the night sky would look like from inside M104 with that very dusty plane, large central bulge and thousands of globulars dotted about? Aaaaaaaah!
