M83
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.
