I have suspected Maffei 1 in my 63mm Zeiss Telemator. It was a very faint, threshold glow behind the stars of Zernike 11, but I was unsure then whether it was just unresolved stars. It was placed in the right location, though, so today I'm pretty sure I bagged it. I'll revisit it again, when I get the chance, both with the 12" and the 63mm.


Clear skies!
