The largest galaxy seen here edge-on is NGC 891, with the prominent dust lane down the middle. The area is littered with a host of smaller galaxies, some of which are still large enough to show some structure.

This was one of the first images taken with the EM200 mount, and was unguided because I did not yet have a guiding cable.
