Description

NGC891 an edge on in the local supercluster is about 30Mly distant with NGC898 that is about 260Mly distant.  There are other galaxies scattered in this image with PGC9101 about 550Mly distant showing some good detail as a face on spiral, and PGC9108 appears as an elliptical being to the left and right of the bright star HIP11185.  It would appear that some of the flecks in this image are galaxies greater than 1Bly distant.
