Has anyone observed the Circinus Galaxy?

The Circinus Galaxy, ESO 97-G13, is a pretty bright galaxy, but its galactic latitude is low, so a sightline to it passes through lots of foreground Milky Way.

It's also a southern hemisphere object (Dec ~-65° 20′), so it cannot be seen if you're in Europe or North America.

Has anyone seen it? Taken an image of it? If so, would you mind sharing your experiences?

There's a thread here on it - Circinus Galaxy, which starts with what might be an observation of it, but I can't get the link to open!

(I hope this is the right place to ask such a question).
