Thanks Rodney! So now we've done several galaxies that look good in H-alpha. From easiest to most difficult, it might be something like:

NGC 300 (amazing and easy to understand what you're looking at because it's face-on)
Barnard's Galaxy (amazing but smaller and fainter)
NGC 55 (easy but harder to see what you're looking at because edge on and tidally disrupted)
Sculptor semi-dwarf (small and faint but you can just make out a micro-quasar !)
Hamburger, where with very long exposures you see the huge faint relativistic jet arching far from the galaxy.

Best,
MnT
