Perhaps the saturation is a teensy bit too high, but you've shown that the nucleus is of older stuff than the rest.

We looked up our ancient shot of this galaxy, and the image was entirely black, and the original subs have been lost, so you've inspired us to have another crack at it when it's rising earlier.
It rises at 18:35 AEST, is that too late
It is visible all night.
Great pic, I will have a go at observing it with the 16"
It's quite bright at 9.9 mag.
Cheers
