Just think, many moons ago when David Malin relased the book "Colours if the Stars", that was the only place I could see images of faint stellar halos around galaxies, now it is done not with a huge schmidt camera but with a rig that is car portable.

Well done in showing us stuff that not that long ago was only found in plates from big observatories.
