Photographing "The Void"

You know when you look up at the stars and there is all that blackness? Ever wonder what's out there in the 'empty space'? These photos are of exactly that.

The picture was taken with a 64 hour exposure and can see things hundreds of times fainter than what we can see with the naked eye. If you noticed the swirly galaxies, imagine this; Each one of those is comparable in size to our own Milky Way and consists of billions of stars! I wonder if Ford Prefect is out there somewhere...
