This image was composed using data from both my TMB 203 F/7 (for the color info), in combination with DSS data. The Catalogs and Surveys Group of the Space Telescope Science Institute has digitized the photographic Sky survey plates from the Palomar and UK Schmidt telescopes to produce the "Digitized Sky Survey" (DSS).
When I first looked at this image, I figured there might be a dozen or so 'faint fuzzies', or galaxies.
Little did I know! I was able to track down and
identify 116 galaxies, with another suspected 16 or so that I have been unable to identify so far:
