[3.10] Deep I-band surface photometry of NGC 5907

Preliminary reductions of deep I-band surface photometry of NGC 5907,
obtained with a CCD on the Burrell Schmidt telescope, are presented.
The techniques used to overcome the noise induced by the bright,
spatially and temporally variable I-band sky are discussed. These
show promise of reaching 8 magnitudes or more below sky.
