Hi §AB & All,
Thanks for the comments guys -- appreciated. It was a teriffic night and for Bargo, pretty close to a "proper" dark sky which allowed me to reach quite deep.

Don't worry, there's still plenty in the "to-do pile" -- I've got about 1000 - 1500 more similar sort of galaxies (small, mags 13-16) before I exhaust my current lists. Then also there are quite a lot of nebulae, dark nebulae and PNe on the list as well to "fatten-up" the observing log. Looking forward to heading to Mudgee in late November -- I've still got quite a lot of stuff to see yet in Cetus, and Eridanus in particular and some other observations to gather for future articles. Skies there are close to pristine.
Best,
Les D
