Hi Les,

Nice report. You had a busy night.

I can confirm your observation of NGC 2843, it sounds good to me. I find it is on the verge of visibility in an 18" scope under good conditions at about 250x. I have had the luxury of being able to confirm the observation with an adjacent 25"/f5 where it is comfortably visible with averted vision at lower powers. It's pretty small in that aperture.

Cheers
John B
