Hi All,
Here's a photo I took of Coddington's Nebula, A.K.A. IC 2574, which is a dwarf 
irregular galaxy located in the M81/M82 group.  I took it from McDowell 
Mountain park, which has more light pollution than I'm used to.  This galaxy 
has a highly studied supergiant shell region (on the right in this image) that 
is still expanding.
