NGC 5907 (also known as NGC 5906, Knife Edge Galaxy, or Splinter Galaxy) is a spiral galaxy located approximately 46.5 million light years from Earth. German-British astronomer William Herschel discovered the galaxy in 1788. Its most notable features are its large stellar stream and ultraluminous X-ray source. I am still trying to find what filter brings in the squiggling nebula over the galaxy. So far I have tried no filter, the RGB Ultra, and the L-QEF. Next will be an Ha filter
