Never looked at it with smaller than 12.5-inch but with this aperture all members were visible. The 16-inch shows the quartet with all its beauty and all the different elongations. sketch: 16", 515x, NELM 6m0+ HCG61.jpg home The 27-inch shows "c" (4175) with a stellar peak at the NW tip, "b" (4173) is clearly S-twisted with a longish offset nucleus but without the dark lane.
