  We obtained 838 Sloan r-band images (~28 hrs) of the GOODS-North field with
the Large Binocular Camera (LBC) on the Large Binocular Telescope in order to
study the presence of extended, low surface brightness features in galaxies and
investigate the trade-off between image depth and resolution. The individual
images were sorted by effective seeing, which allowed for optimal resolution
and optimal depth mosaics to be created with all images with seeing FWHM < 0.9"
and FWHM < 2.0", respectively. Examining bright galaxies and their substructure
as well as accurately deblending overlapping objects requires the optimal
resolution mosaic, while detecting the faintest objects possible (to a limiting
magnitude of $m_{AB}$ ~ 29.2 mag) requires the optimal depth mosaic. The better
surface brightness sensitivity resulting from the larger LBC pixels, compared
to those of extant WFC3/UVIS and ACS/WFC cameras aboard the Hubble Space
Telescope (HST) allows for unambiguous detection of both diffuse flux and very
faint tidal tails. We created azimuthally-averaged radial surface brightness
profiles for the 360 brightest galaxies in the mosaics. We find little
difference in the majority of the light profiles from the optimal resolution
and optimal depth mosaics. However, $\lesssim$ 15% of the profiles show excess
flux in the galaxy outskirts down to surface brightness levels of $\mu^{AB}_{r}
$ $\simeq$ 31 mag arcsec $^{-2}$. This is relevant to Extragalactic Background
Light (EBL) studies as diffuse light in the outer regions of galaxies are
thought to be a major contribution to the EBL. While some additional diffuse
light exists in the optimal depth profiles compared to the shallower, optimal
resolution profiles, we find that diffuse light in galaxy outskirts is a minor
contribution to the EBL overall in the r-band.
