Ngc 7205

Not enough posts in this section! So here we are reporting on an observation last night from my back yard in Bowral. Town lights everywhere, but if I look straight up the skies are still quite good. observing with my AT106 refractor at 99X, the galaxy 7205 on the Indus/Tucana border was quite easily noted between 2 stars. I drew a little picture to make sure then googled the galaxy number. Sure enough one of our members "Placidus" had recently imaged this galaxy and the drawing and photo positions matched. Real pleased with this one as it is an 11th mag galaxy and to see with a 4" I consider a good obs.
Anyone else spot this galaxy with a small scope?
