    I took a look at this distant object the other night under not very good conditions in West Texas the humidity was high and the transparency was not the best. I did have a positive observation. At 610X I did have several pops at the right location. I am anxious to try it again under better conditions.

    At a Z=2.085 this is a very distant object with a light travel time of 10.537 billion light years

    I will report back when I try it again.

    Nice! Funny how these things are blue even after the monstrous redshift. 150 nm not 200 nm at the source, hmm.
