Good pickup Andrew
Yeah Stu is on fire at the moment. There are actually 3 psn discovered in the last week by Stu including
ESO352-69
Two of these are fainter than mag 18.
The psn in NGC7367 in Pegasus was literally " oh well I have imaged all my southern targets might have a quick look in Pegasus" and voila another discovery.
Awaiting spectra now.
More amazing when you hear his farm was drenched, frozen, under snow and nearly blown away for much of the week before.
Stu you are a machine!

Peter, I saw the third one but forgot to check to see if it had been mentioned.

Yes, mag 18s are probably beyond most of us. They'd be well and truly lost in my light pollution.

HI all,
yes, Stu certainly takes advantage of clear skies when he has them. I have posted the BOSS website for the latest news here.

The rest of the BOSS team are considering moving to better places to image from, SE Qld is proving to be almost impossible to image from lately, although we'll give NZ a big swerve considering the snow and rain they've had there too recently!!!
