And here's the inverted wide field of NGC 891, showing at least 15 background galaxies to mag 17.8, including NGC 898. Easier to pick out when inverted!

Wide field of NGC 891 in Andromeda, +/- 30 mil. light years, showing at least 15 background galaxies to mag 17.8, including NGC 898.

NGC 891 in Andromeda at +/- 30 million light years, edge-on spiral galaxy w/nice dust lanes. This one with my smaller 8" telescope & Starlight M25c OSC CCD, 3+ hours and 35 images stacked.

This is the hydrogen alpha version of the area surrounding NGC 6914, NGC 6914A (vdB 131) & NGC 6914B (vdB 132) in Cygnus. 2 hours Ha @ f/2 w/C11 & Starlight Xpress H18.
