Hi,
After 23 hours integration time and the same amount of processing a bit of tidal streams are finally visible.
This is NGC5907 in Draco.

Thanks for looking!

Nicely done. I failed miserably to pick up anything. I don't have the clear skies needed unfortunately.

Those streams are around 27 mags/sq/arcsec and fainter. The animation on the formation of those streams is very interesting and worth a look.
Nice Job!

Thanks guys,
Special thanks to Lee for the idea to image.
Bill,
It should be dwarf galaxy like PGC12345 or something.
