Paul, would you have a wider field photo of M61 showing NGC4292 as well to help orientate for the smaller galaxies. It's interesting how different programs represent the same object. Going by SN I would have assumed the PGC3096124 was a fairly "substantial" galaxy. Yet in your program it appears to be less significant than PGC1268982.

Yeah that's right in STAR Atlas PRO (SAP) PGC3096124 is reported to be 0.1x0.1 arc minutes in size, so it is fairly tiny. Yet PGC1268982 is larger at 0.35x0.13'
Yes of course, SAP can get images for any location in the sky (doesn't even have to be a deep sky object). I had to compress this image a lot to load it onto IIS (original image is 1.8Mb).
best regards
