Ivan,
Sorry for the tardy reply, but M-102 is still well placed for observing early in the evening. I have observed the dust lane a number of times. I am using a "pee wee" scope (11-inch SCT), but...
Pavel,
GREAT image! I envy you. I tried to image this object last weekend, but the sky got muddy before the object was well placed, and nothing but clouds and rain since then. Tomorrow night is...

Although my observation is with the smallest scope on the page, here is my log entry on this object from 6/29/98: Using Celestron 11 SCT with 20mm Nagler Type II (140X): Located approximately 1 field...
