The richness in this image is just fantastic upon magnification. Tiny galaxies every where you look, deeper and deeper, billions of stars, planets... (civilizations?) Thank  you Tony, nice work!

Indeed! Very nice work by Tony, as always. 
FYI: For visual observers in light to moderately light polluted areas, a blue ccd filter attached to a moderate power eyepiece of about 10mm or so in a reasonably larger scope of around 12"-16" or greater, the galaxy may be seen if otherwise undetectable because of the pollution and may even appear to sparkle due to the blue star forming areas within it.
