the outer limits galaxy ngc 891

If you remember the old TV show the outer limits during the credits they showed some space photos. This is one of them
NGC 891 the outer limits galaxy, also called the silver sliver galaxy . its located about 27 million light years away from earth. It looks like what our galaxy would look like if viewed edge on. Its roughly same size as the milky way.
6 hours of exposure time in my backyard over the last 2 nights.
