NGC 5907
NGC 5907, also known at the Knife Edge or Splinter galaxy, is a spiral galaxy located approximately 50 million light years from Earth.
A very faint tidal stream of stars is visible around the galaxy, especially on the top side.
At full resolution, many hundreds of other galaxies are visible.
I'll post close up crops, as some of those are really interesting!
