Here is an image of M59 and M60 and friends. As Elliptical galaxies, these objects are not real exciting to look at, but it is fun to see a number of galaxies in a 50 arc minute field. I have attached a mid size thumbnail, but a larger image as well as exposure and processing details can be accessed at the link below. The linked page also lists 9 of the noticeably visible objects of the 12 that I can detect.
