I've done the double galaxy objects for my Herschel 400, but haven't seen Palomar 5 -- yet. I'm going to try that one tonight, and when I go after the Globular Cluster award, I'll have it!

It is named "Iconoid" and can be found at "www.sillysot.com". There are a few different settings to play with, depending on how you want it to operate. It works well on my pc, with no troubles. I'm so glad I can see the images now. For those using APOD, this free program can turn off your desktop icons so you can view the images in their full beauty.
