J2000 RA 13h 05m 27.5s Dec −49° 28′ 06″ FOV 60x60 arcmin
NGC 4945 is a barred spiral galaxy at 11.7 milion light-year in Centaurus, and located near the star Zeta Cen.
NGC 4945 is one of the brightest galaxies of the CentaurusA/M83 Group, a large, nearby group of galaxies.
NGC 4945 is at the center in this image, below ESO 219-28 and very weak, in contact with the Ksi 2 Cen centric at the bottom, ESO 219-27. Very faintly visible, even other weak background objects.
This is a composition of DSS plates.
