Hi Wes, I saw NGC 4945 at Ron's place. And I realised then why it eludes me here, it was a bit on the diffuse side for sure. The same with M83 (Southern Pinwheel)- I can only make out the core and with severe eyestrain make out something around the core that's only just barely there (no matter how many times I observed it). These two galaxies have been the biggest pain for me to observe (but at least M83 has a bright core so something at least was viewable).
He showed me Centaurus A and I literally dropped to my knees- I'll never forget that, ever!
