Thanks everyone for your comments. This object does have a number of different names but call it what you like, it makes for good viewing. This was taken from my home observatory at Glanmire NSW which is about 12 Kms to the east of Bathurst. The skies are quite reasonable considering the proximity to a city of nearly 40,000 people. Typical SQM readings with a sky quality meter are around 21.5 - 22.0 (as long as I don't look towards Bathurst in the west !).
