Lovely shooting Mike! Not a huge amount of luck with the little ring galaxy - overlaid a heap of galaxy catalogues in Aladin and the nearest I could come up with was GALEX J094558.7-311304, but it doesn't seem to be a perfect match. Bit beyond me to access the GALEX databases from their site, but they are online:

Other people have imaged it -

Great shooting too Ken!!
