Hi Glen,

My list is fairly close to Rob's :-

M83 (Southern Pinwheel)
M104 (Sombrero)
NGC 5128 (Centaurus A)
NGC 4945 in Centaurus

NGC 4565 (Needle Galaxy)
NGC 1566 (Dorado)
NGC 253 (Sculptor Galaxy)

NGC 7582/7590/7599 (bunched three of Grus Quartet)
NGC 1365 in Fornax
IC1459 / IC5264 an elliptical (1459) and edge-on spiral (5264) in close proximity. 5264 is mag 13.6 but the surface brightness allows it to be seen much more easily than one would think.

In a Big Dob, all these DSO are lovely. In camera, most are too big for my setup :-) but still never fail to please.

Regards,
Tony Barry
