That's the beast! You guys are great. My notes usually say, "neat
object",=20
"faint smudge", "better than the Wray photo", etc.
I was once observing some nondescript NGC cluster in the Milky Way with =
my=20
long f /6.7 12.5". Steve Coe walked past, sighted briefly along the=20
telescope, and said, "Ah, you must be looking at NGC xxxx (whatever it
was)".=20
He was right.
Great to know such superb observers of the visible universe.
