Description

Discovered in 1788 by Friedrich Wilhelm Herschel NGC 5907 is about 40 million light years from Earth in the constellation Draco.
I was fascinated by this galaxy when i saw some photos with a stellar stream. Capturing that would require a larger aperture and better SQM i believe. Anyway, that is what got after 30+ hrs.
CS, John

P.S.: The photo was taken over a course of six nights.
