This edge on galaxy ended up being somewhat lacking in features (at least in my image). I thought I would still post it. You can see the image and exposure / processing details at:

Not too much detail there, but still a few interesting blobs and lines. I find it to be a nice image.

I think it is a nice shot, even if it might not be as "exciting" as some other galaxies.
