sure does ving. Probably one of the bluest objects you'll see in the night sky, especially on a night of good seeing.

I have to wait until its quite high near the meridian. It doesn't like being looked at through all that thick atmosphere.

After seeing this thread 3918 was one of our targets observing last night.
Viewed through a 10 inch dob and a 14 inch lx200 it was just a blue ball. Through the 18 incher at power we could just barely detect the faint 'wings' as shown on the hubble picture.

Thanks Andy,
We need more images in the Deep Space section.. It's looking a little bland with everyone focussing (& rightly so) on planets at the moment.
Cheers
