Hi Gama,
It is a great shot and it is wonderful to see a lesser known, far southern galaxy photographed. It is an interesting object visually too (if it was in the Northern Hemisphere I think we would have heard a lot more about this gem!). When I first saw it through an 8" f/6 Newtonian I thought I had discovered a comet sitting next to the galaxy. It was in fact that bright 'shoulder' section at the start of one of the arms. When it was first catalogued it must have been distinctive enough for it was called NGC 2443.
Gama keep up the good work.
Regards
Glenn
