Would it help if I told you that Chris Hanrahan spotted all FIVE members of
Stefan's Quintet in his 12-inch Dob Saturday? I confirmed it, as did at
least two other observers (I can't recall their names). I could only get 4
in my C-11-- 7318A and B could not be split apart.

Randy Peterson wrote back to say that "Marty's" DSM reading of 21.3 was
at Farnsworth, not Antennas, sorry.
So I guess we don't have a comparison reading from Antennas for last
