Hi All,
Two noteworthy omissions so far (have looked at the excel spreadsheet):
M99 and NGC 2997 -- both of which show spiral structure in large 'scopes; particularly M99.
Best,
Les D
Edit: P.S One other to add, though an extremely faint one is NGC 45 in Cetus. If ever a galaxy deserved a "common name" it is this one: The See-Through Spiral. It is hard to imagne a lower surface-brightness face-on galaxy. Though it is low 10th magnitude, it is a difficult object even for 46cm. If you look at the DSS image, there are many background galaxies you can see through its halo.
2nd edit: Doh! Just noticed Andrew has noted M99 & NGC 2997 above. Should have read more carefully!
