Also - the 2 other bright galaxies in your image are:
IC 4845 and IC4842.

A further note:
we are also in a cosmic dance as part of 3 galaxies:
Milky Way, Andromeda M31 and Triangulum M33.

Interesting stuff Allan, be cool to see our night sky with three large galaxies spread across it, huh? That HST shot is so cool huh? Wonder what civilisation/s will get to witness that?

Cheers Ivan, yeah I have an 18" Dob too, under excellent skies, had several observing sessions with it but haven't looked at this trio though?...must remember to take a peak this season, I'm sure it will be worth it, thanks for the prod
