ASTRO: NGC 4945 from Namibia

I did not find much time for image processing since returning from Namibia,
but every now and then I manage to finish an image.
NGC 4945 is one of the highlights of southern galaxies. I included NGC 4976
near the left border of the image.

Taken from Tivoli farm with an ASA 12" astrograph at 1069mm focal length on
an ASA DDM85 mount, Atik 383 camera, 6x10 minutes Lum, 2x10 minutes each for
RGB, Baader filters.

The image is 1.8MB large, so some newsservers might reject it, but I have
included a link to my homepage:

That's quite the unsymmetrical galaxy. Not one I remember seeing before.
