When it was at it's brightest I couldn't split it with a 3.5 nagler magx522 in my 16" on a good night.

Ahhh I see, the two stars just seemed brighter than that but reflecting now it does seem about right what you say ...seems imaging wins this time round

Glad you like it Lewis and it is probably worthy of anyones top ten galaxies as far as imaging goes, not sure for visual though, I know NGC 1365 is hard to beat in that dept as its two distinct arms can even be seen by some novices through as little as 8" under dark skies
