Nice Galaxy.
Been a number of years since I did any visual astronomy but my notes indicate that in my old 37cm Dob ESO97-13 (Circinus Dwarf Galaxy) was an easy target from 25km South of BrisbaneOther notes I have are that it was discovered in 1977 from Mt stromlo observatory. That it is app 11 million light years distant. Hartungs second edition notes it as H631 and there is a pic on page 209.
Aka PGC50779 this galaxy is included in my Supernova Search programme and I have many 30 second images of it. When I get home later I will attach one, mind you mine are only monochrome and not a Mona Lisa painting. I am sure there must be others here who can do more justice to this neat galaxy.
