Dus any1 know?

I wos out observing 2night in the Crux region. I wosn't lookin for anythin. I just went down, went across one feild of view, went up, etc, etc.

Anywho, i went a bit off course and i found a star in the Triangulum Australe/Circinus region with a fuzzy blob just underneath it. It wos around 5-6 of da star diametres across. Does anyone know wot it mite b?

I wos also looking around around the star Acrux when a bright disc went through. A satellite maybe...
