Frank, An excellent observation of NGC 5907 in Draco. In reviewing this edge-on galaxy I learned that a "star stream" is visible in images obtained with larger instruments which are the remains of a dwarf galaxy that was torn apart ("cannibalized") by the larger galaxy (NGC 5907). Thank you for sharing it with us all.
