Tonight's image
This is galaxy NGC4945 - Bright galaxy in an interesting field in the constellation Centaurus. Some other easily noticeable galaxies are NGC4976 to the left, and PGC45380 just below the centre of the image. There are actually some 18 or so smaller background galaxies in the PGC catalogue in this image.
