Hi §AB & All,
Yes quite a number of quasars are within reach of 12".
BTW, which interface did you use to access the USNOA2??
Just to save me hunting, I mentioned a star superimposed on the northern edge of or just outside PGC 62391 -- this (according to Megastar) is GSC 9073:481 (which according to the GSC is also a "non-star" -- ie one not to guide on for a host of possible reasons).
Megastar supplies a magnitude of 14.7 +/- 0.4. But, when you look at the image you posted of the group, this star is clearly shown and seems to be approximately of the same brightness (on the plate) as mid-fifteen's you record. On Realsky (POSS I), it is perhaps a fraction brighter than them.
Just curious as to what the true magnitude of that superimposed star on the northern halo of PGC 62391 is. I'd guesstimate 15.3 but what is it?
Best,
Les D
