Quasar in Caelum.

Spotted this one last night with the 18 inch scope, magnitude 15.35 (approx, variable). This one is relatively close as quasars go at 3 billion light years. A few details and a finder chart for anyone interested in tracking it down. It is located about a degree east of Zeta Caelum and was easily seen through a 14mm eyepiece(150x). Chart FOV approx 30'.
