intergalactic space... I wonder how many would turn up if you just pointed 
the CCD at some blank area in the Virgo Area and exposed as deep as 
possible...

Thank you Tony!
Yes many of the faint dots seem to be background galaxies, but some are 
probably faint stars. I compared my image with the wonderfull image from 
Philipp Keller (www.astrooptik.com) and found that some of the dots must be 
faint stars while others are galaxies.
How deep I get is probably very much depending on sky transparency. Over 
the last few days we had a high pressure system with dry winds from Russia 
here over central Europe which is very unusual for that time of year. 
Therefore I had very good transparency.

Best regards
  Andreas
