Yes its quite a pretty galaxy. Its interesting how many of these galaxies there are in that close southern circle around Eta C and in and also there are lots of galaxies around NGC253.

Thanks for publishing Greg Bradley's image of it for IOTW too.

Glad to help Greg.

Cheers. It's really Greg Bock not so much me. I just suffered through the hardware issues of changing over a camera. I know what you mean Greg about nearly deleting the image. I almost didn't take the shot because the Microline needed another adapter to work and then the focuser nearly got stuck - you get the idea!
