    I want to think I have heard reports of people seeing IC 1101 with a 10” under dark skies.

    Thank you guys. I find this interesting that it does show up on the clear skies observing guides.

    It's not included in the current edition but I will add it in V3.0; which I unfortunately can not complete until 2024 as my iMac passed away this week after 8 1/2 years of loyal service.

    The galaxy ought to be a not-too-tough observation in a 12" scope under decent skies.

    Cheers,

    Victor,

    Please see my comment as a compliment. Your guides are exceptionally through. I just found it odd. I love what you do and THANK YOU for all you do.

    Well, I found it interesting that it wasn't on Ronald Stoyan's Interstellarum Deep Sky Atlas! So, after observing it in my 6-inch, I informed him of both my sighting and that I found it missing on his IDSA.
