The Circinus galaxy was only reported in 1977 after being imaged on a plate taken by the Upsala Schmidt telescope at Mt Stromlo.
The same Scope that is now used by Rob McNaught at Siding Spring mountain to discover all his comets and NEO's and Asteroids.
I look for this galaxy with the 16" on regular occasions when good seeing presents itself.

It can look like a obscure Globular Cluster among a great star field.
You have captured the Dust lane very well
