not in the ngc

The mag 9.7 galaxy ESO 121-006 (PGC 18437) is not in the NGC.
The attached wikisky.org image is 56' by 56'.
The galaxy is 4.2' by 0.8' and the mag 5.1 star in the image is about half way between alpha Pic and beta Dor.
The star is about 7.5 degrees above the Tarantula nebula at midnight tonight DST.
