Hi Tim,

Look at the HST images of NGC 7319. Download the biggest screen image you can, I used the 3.2 Mbyte jpg image. As you can see, the extended halo of the galaxy is almost transparent, and background spiral galaxies are clearly visible through it.

I just did, and the extended halo is indeed relatively transparent, but the quasar is in the densest part of the galaxy, really opaque, maybe you should check Isferno's rendition of the image in the "Big Bang refuted" thread.
Cheers.
