andyboy1970 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 I have never viewed it visually but I chuckled when I read somewhere that "It's an easy target in small scopes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Through a 81mm triplet I could see a smudge with two embedded stars, but when I viewed this through a 16" dob under dark skies it appeared as a thumb print in the sky, very nice indeed. You do need dark skies though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I have never viewed it visually but I chuckled when I read somewhere that "It's an easy target in small scopes". it is easy to "see" I've seen it at Belper in 20x 60 binos but as Doc says it is a smudge with 2 stars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
