UFO galaxy NGC5746

I photographed a flying saucer! Second image from last night. The bright star is 109 Vir, the flying saucer, er I mean edge on galaxy is NGC5746 and the other galaxy top right is NGC5740. I do like the composition of this shot. As always I like galaxies posing next to bright stars. NGC5746 lies 95 million light years distant. Need to revisit this with a bigger gun...

8" F4 Newtonian, Baader MPCC MKIII, 206 x 30 seconds, Pentax K-5.
