Here is an image of this remarkable edge on Galaxy. I have attached a mid sized thumbnail, but a full size image as well as additonal exposure and processing details can be accessed at:

The scope was my C8 operating at about f/4; the camera is a ToUcam SC3/Raw. It is a relatively short exposure - total of about 40 minutes of LRGB.
