Humm, now I'm not so sure. Still confused.

I believe it is NGC5112, which happens to be pretty close to 5033.

Nice bright bar though! On Thu, May 5, 2011 at 7:10 PM, Joe Bauman <josephmbauman@yahoo.com> wrote:
Well, this is a miserable first for me. I spent last night at Lakeside, as I mentioned (I'm wondering which part of the desert Michael was in, as I did not see him). My plan was to spend this night there too, after charging my batteries at home. But for the first time I can remember, I just ran out of steam. My Jeep is still packed but I'm not up to it for another night. This is a real sign that I'm getting old -- turned 65 in April.
I thought I was imaging NGC5033 this morning but the result doesn't look much like it. It certainly wouldn't be the first time I was off in aim. But I can't figure out what I saw. It almost looks like an S-shaped barred spiral with a supernova. Could anyone who knows how to do a plate solve let me know what it is, so I can hunt up a view of the galaxy and compare it? The stars around it should make it not so hard to do. It's somewhere in the vicinity of NGC5033. Anyway, I posted a view of it on the SLAS gallery, here:
