Hi all,
During my trip to Namibia (read here for details:
http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...t=38687&page=3) I tried to discover if it's possibile to see the SN1987A remnant. I've never found informations about the possibility or not to observe visually this strange object, so I brought a detailed map/picture of the exact position (the object is located 5' SW from NGC 2044, close to the star GSC 9162 821) and I tried to discover it by myself. The result is that I saw something like a star slightly more blurred than the others. I was watching at 500X with a 50 cm Dobson so, if it's true, it's a very very small object anyway!
So now I'm asking you: is that really the object or did I goof? Is there anyone who has seen it?
Merry Christmas.
