Default NGC891 Edge On Spiral & friends super widefield
Hi All,

Many faint galaxies visible in this 2 degree field of NGC-891 in Andromeda.
The long slender galaxy to the lower right is NGC898, and the one with a bright star embedded on it is irregular Galaxy UGC1807, there are at least a dozen more faint galaxies visible in this image that exceeds 16th magnitude.

Here is a 24 minute exposure with my little 5.5" Vixen Newt. scope and a Modified(baader) 20D DSLR.
8 @ 4 minute subs, ISO 400. Cropped slightly to help get rid of very bad coma near edges.

One of my favorite edge on spiral galaxies!
