This may have been the most difficult target of the entire program. IC 5201 wasn't visible in the image. I had to invert, stretch a few times, invert, stretch some more, and then it could be seen.
As a guess, an SBb spiral with a position angle of 10 degrees.

Most fortunate. This was to be IC 5201 (just above in the list) but it was too dim to see in even a very stretched image. Just so happens that pi-1 Gru is the right star in the wide double at the top left. The left star in the wide pair is pi-2 Gru. Pi-1 is a double but the spacing is too close to see.

Observations: When I got to the field I saw a fairly prominent galaxy. Stellarium showed that there were six. I spent considerable time trying to figure out which NGC 7331 was until I found that it was the brightest. Good sized, possibly 1/5th the diagonal fob of the 32mm up. Stretched out, more elongated, definitely at least 2x longer than width.
