 Yeah.... Its in the Large Magellanic Cloud We refer to this one as 30 Doradus. You can just make it out with the naked eye from a good dark sky site, if you know what to look for, and its actually quite large. If you want to get a good view through the scope an OIII filter really brings this one up nicely
