Cta 102.

Using charts supplied on the S&T site and images of this quasar on CN, I finally saw it last night, after a few attempts during the week were spoiled by bad weather. Conditions weren't the best, but was able to spot it at around magnitude 13(estimated from nearby comparison stars) with a 10 inch f6 dob.
Still hard to comprehend that this object is 8 billion light years away.
