Hi all:

I got this (cropped) shot of the skies the other night with my Canon EOS 300D.

I **think** what I have noted is the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy - can anyone verify this? Or is it simply noise from my camera?

It's a reddish-colored dot, and given that the galaxy is pretty distant, I'm assuming it would show up as only that. I did not use my scope for this shot, only the camera, with about a 2 minute exposure.

TIA
