NGC1365 can be seen in lower southern sky at Japan, it's fairly difficult to enjoy the galaxy under good conditioned atmosphere.
It may all only dimmed central nucleus could be detected.
There are uncountable indistinct outer galaxies around this celestial field.
NGC1365 is the one of largest and easiest to find in those galaxies.
