Well Folks, looks like this is my last image from galaxy season - on to nebulas and clusters.

This is the Coma Cluster - I guess there are quite a few galaxies there. Full size image is at:

One of my favorite areas--it's like a Hubble Deep Field for us amateurs.
Artfully done, Jim.

A belated thanks for the comments on the image....

I have been out of town for this last week doing some fun things in the Sna Juan Islands - no internet access. Now I need to catch up with the forum a bit.
