Jon, that certainly is a great picture of a difficult object.  The responses 
with additional information are also appreciated.

Clear skies,

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.
