Teriffic galaxy list that most would find a challenge in an 8" -- well done!
I like the galaxies of Dorado, Reticulum etc too -- the Cloud isn't the only thing in Dorado.

Just goes to show what a difference dark skies make. NGC 1566 is a great object, it looks like a telescopic Magellanic cloud and I suspect that if I were to go as far as possible from this light polluted and above all cloudy Iceland, I could detect some of its HII regions (I've seen 1 under awsome transparency from here).
