Amongst all the oddball shaped galaxies out there, is two that together look like a !. Here it is .
The two galaxies are
PGC553605, which is mag16.9 and
ESO242-022 mag 16.5
The much brighter spiral next to them is ESO242-023 at Mag 13.5
I would have loved to have gone deeper but though I started as soon as it was dark cloud ended proceedings after 30 minutes of imaging so I had to be content with that. Seeing and transparency was good though.
3x10 mins ISO 200. uv/ir filter, Hutech modded 350D. 10 inch f5.6 newtonian. Hand off axis guided. This is a full res. crop.
So now I can say ive photographed the Exclamation Mark

Here is a list of galaxies with proper names, this one is listed here.
