Hi every body,
I'm actually in New Caledonia with some friend of my and yesterday I have done some shot on this fabulous galaxy in Hydra. There is 23 x 300s in Luminance. It is taken with the Skywatcher 120 refractor of my friend and the 314L+:

nice front on view. Are there two more galaxies in the image? (in the top left hand side of the Galaxy)

[tonybarry (Tony)]

Steve, there are several galaxies visible.
PGC 724525 and PGC 48132 are the ones you have spotted.
AstroPlanner lists a number of others, two of which I can spot on this plate.

It's a very nice image of my favourite galaxy / galaxies.

Regards,
Tony Barry
