Quasar 3C273

Had a very exciting night on Saturday. With the aid of the following 2 links I was able to observe quasar 3C273.

Quite mind boggling to be looking at something 2.44 billion light years away!

Hope anyone on a quasar hunt finds the links useful.

I love a bit of star hopping, especially if I can eventually hop to the object of my desire!
