Hello Wes,
What a privilege to have seen the SN 1987A remnant in 2019! I can’t imagine the emotion you experienced seeing the remains of a star that blew itself up a mere 34 years ago. In another galaxy. I know that one fine night I will nudge the telescope over for my regular scouring of that tiny patch of LMC real estate and… there it will be!! No matter how small or how faint, I suspect the sight of it will relegate N49 to second place in my “most beautiful SNRs to observe” line up; its beauty lying in what it is I am seeing (and I am sure you will agree N49 is a superb little beauty!)
