    In 2012 from Coonabarabran I saw the FF thread using a 30". At the time I thought the current theory was that it WAS the remnant galaxy that hit Cent A. But thanks to Steve's mentioning the...

    I have an observation with my 28" f/3.6 Starstructure when I was at the star party "Calstar" at Lake San Antonio in California in 2012.

    In July 2014 I saw Pease 1 using my 28" f/3.6 Starstruture. I used a 3mm-6mm Televue zoom (427x to 854x), switching between the various powers. It only took about 10 mins to locate and verify it. ...

    Jimi--Yes I did view it without a filter, but alas I didn't see any reddness. And I am very fond of red celestial objects. I was at latitude 39.3 degrees, which may be a factor.

    While observing July 23-25 at Lake Tahoe in California, elevation 6800 feet, I observed SwSt1 using my 28" f/3.6 Starstructure. I only just heard about it from Sue French's article in the August...

    On March 9, 2013 I observed Keenan's System with a 28" f/3.6 Starstucture. I used an 11 Nagler (with no Paracorr), so 233x. I didn't see any connection between the galaxies. But I must admit I...
