Hi Akarsh, I observed the WLM system in October last year from a site at 8,500 ft in the White Mountains, CA. WLM was easy as a large, fairly faint N-S elongate patch with some eF stars superimposed. I observed WLM 1 (the globular cluster) just south of a mag 14.5 star at 244X. My notes say "extremely faint, slightly fuzzy observed with averted vision". In August this year at the Oregon Star Party, I observed Hodge 5 in NGC 185 at 527X ("very occasionally with averted vision"). For both observations I used my Starmaster 20" F3.3.
