Thanks for another great read Shelley. Being a face-on spiral, M83 will suffer badly with light pollution. With a dark sky and plenty of revisits and used of averted vision you will be amazed at how much detail you can make out with a 10-12" scope. Messier 11 is a stunner - loved your description. The other nebula near the Eagle would have been the Swan or Omega Nebula, M17. It is well worth a visit next time you're in that neighbourhood. One of the best emission nebulae in the sky IMHO.
Keep these great reports coming!
