Excellent report! Your galaxy observations are impressive, I think I need to drive a few hours to get some of the detail you're getting
I observed NGC 1365 a few times in my 12" from outer suburban Melbourne, and really only can see the core. However those observations were made with a filthy mirror [/light scatter]
I have seen its spiral arms however with an 18" from a darker site. It's a fantastic object.

That's one aspect of doing obs reports I greatly enjoy aswell, I find it fun comparing images to my obs/sketches and it's always gratifying to discover I wasn't
imagining those details
