That was quite of view of 3081 through your scope Jimi, and here's my notes and sketch:

"Excellent ring galaxy! Bright, concentrated core with a tiny stellar (nucleus). The ring is brightest on each end and they both have a subtle texture. 488x."

I have yet to look at 3081 with my own scopes, so this is my only observation of it so far - and it will certainly be hard to top!
