Thanks all. Orestis, I used your suggestion of photographing my sketch rather than scanning it and this helped retain the detail, so thanks for the advice. I found that this worked better with no flash as it was less washed out. I do have good dark skies except low on the northern and eastern horizons where the looms of Bendigo and Melbourne intrude. Otherwise mag 6-6.5. I'll be very interested to see how you go - you have young eyes and very good observing skills so I think you'll do well. Paul, some of them are very faint - I am always amazed at what Sab and Les are able to pick out with some of the fainter galaxies.
