Thanks for the kind words everyone. It was a very successful evening, where I found almost everything I was looking for - that doesn't always happen! Thanks for the observation on IC 4406, Sab, that's just what I was looking for. I will definitely be revisiting it. I might think about adding a fan that works to the mirror end and possibly tube flocking to help contrast. Patrick, I'm glad I'm not the only one muttering incantations like: "a line from gamma through phi about the same distance but a bit bent". Honestly, triangles and other shapes are such handy things, they can be almost any size and proportion and they still work. Orestis, have a go for those galaxies, you may be surprised. They are also high in elevation and that helps also.
