Best of all, they are (relatively) bright, have a peculiar morphology (they are both 'star burst' galaxies) and are rarely imaged by amateurs...
Untouched, low hanging fruit with a bit of novelty... win - win.

Thanks Clive, will probably hit them in two months time when they rise a bit earlier (better positioned for a solid nights imaging
). Couldn't find a whole lot of images on them so they're worth a shot
