One positive observation so far

Hi All,

A positive observing report has been noted on AMASTRO where the object was described as "easy" at x488, though the dog-leg bend was not visible. It was also described as "the neatest thing I've seen in a long time".

... mind you it was with a 1.25m (48") aperture Dobson mounted Newtonian. This 'scope is apparently the largest amateur 'scope in the world and perhaps somewhat predictably situated in Texas, U.S.A.

If the sky co-operates, I'll take a peek tomorrow night out at my Southern Highlands "nearly dark" spot with my tiny 0.46m ...


Best,

Les D
