Hi SAb,
Enjoyed your report mate, lots of lovely stuff there.
The NGC 5084 NGC 5068 region near the Virgo/Hydra border is stuffed full of interesting stuff.
-68 is a galaxy that is structurally quite similar to our Milky Way, though somewhat smaller. It is a possible outlying member of the M83 / Centaurus A* group.
I remember my first visit there in the 18" (had seen it before in 10") because I was surprised by how easy it is to see the bar *and* spiral arms. It's a lovely galaxy. I have some observations of my own to post in a few days from 7 February. Will put them up soon.
Best,
L.
