The Milky Way causes extinction and confusion with about 20% of the optically visible extragalactic universe. The portion of the sky obscured by the Galactic Disk is known as the Zone of Avoidance (ZOA). Surveys of the sky at various wavelengths have helped to fill in the ZOA and understand the structure of the Universe behind the Milky Way. Using the Arecibo L-Band Feed Array (ALFA) a survey of the ZOA in neutral hydrogen (HI) is being completed that will further map the ZOA. We present preliminary results from the C field of the ALFA ZOA survey, covering 335 square degrees of the sky. Overall the preliminary C field catalogue contains 113 galaxy detections, including 58 previously unrecorded galaxies, and provides positions and HI parameters for all galaxies.
