Description

HDR image, about 28 hours total exposure. The background gradients are caused by dust. I processed it to hide most of it, but there is a lot there that starts to show if you expose long enough.

There must be at least a thousand galaxies in this image, many very small and faint ones are visible in the full resolution version.
