G'Day this is from my observations on Sunday night with 20 x80 T binoculars. I too have a burn a hole in the raod streetlight to content with (I hid around the corner from the other two!)

C83, NGC4945: Galaxy, just visible with direct vision. Clear with averted vision.

NGC4945A: Not visible. star visible with averted vision?

NGC4976: Not visible. star visible with averted vision?

You should be able to pick up NGC4945 easily in your dob, but it is edge on so it will appear as a fuzzy line not a disc.
