****************
I observed HE 1104-1805 recently I could see it direct vision @375X it appeared as a elongated star. I bumped up the power to 816X and in moments of steady seeing the Quasar would split into two stellar points. With a light travel time of 10.9 billion light years it was exciting to see the two components.
