I just saw the slide show. Those pictures just blow me away. I saved each and every one. Thanks for bringing them to our attention.

5. Actually three galaxies...
The big, obvious one is M31. M32 is the bright dot within the outer disk to the six oclock position of 31's nucleus. M110 is the fuzzy spot above and to the right of 31's nucleus.

I had a really good view of this through my 12.5" scope last summer at the Black Forest Star Party in PA.
