That is a good and deep image, Rich.

The unusual optically-luminous material near to the small peculiar lenticular (type S0) Companion Galaxy is extremely well shown.

A lot of these bright southern galaxies are only now getting imaging done at the depth that had been achieved for prominent northern galaxies in the past.

I am sure that there are discoveries to be made in imagery as deep as yours.

The little S0 galaxy is, in itself, an unusual object, as can be seen in the images of NGC 1097 at www.eso.org
