Astrophotographers hangout. Invite friends and notice chat bar on bottom.

Never even heard of this object before stumbling upon it while setting up to image my recent M8 and M20 shots. Took a couple of exposures of it each night for three nights. Realized today that I actually had a full hour of exposure time and decided to see what was here. Even picked up its two little friends...they are small but there at about 2:30.

Of course if you want to see what it is supposed to look like...go look at Rick Bowden's image of the same. I am just happy mine looks like anything at all :)

Thanks Hopp, funny to me that this is not a more popular object. Fairly bright and easy to hit.
