M83 - Galaxy in Hydra

Messier 83 (NGC 5236) although it is the most southerly of the Messier
galaxies- and hence harder to see for northern observers - is one of
the most conspicuous spiral galaxies in the sky. M83 has well defined
spiral arms with areas of nebulosity, areas with many blue young stars
and dark dust lanes.
