Trying to cut dn on letters too. Hat did W's ever do for U?
Not trying to cut down on numbers tho. I did mean NGC 7615 in the Pegasus I
galaxy cluster I was exploring. I'll have to blame the computer for that.
Uranometria and Megastar give mag(V) 14.3, but SkyTools gives 15.3.
Everything is plus/minus half a mag or so anyway. I think it was the 13.3 SB
and small size that did me in; I got all the others around it using 200X.
Have to wait for the 18" to get that one tho. Herschel had an 18.5", but
I'll have slightly better coatings...
Thanks for the count.
