Woops, sorry Thad.  The post read Gap, not Mimima.  I'm still not awake I
guess.  I have yet to see the Encke Gap, even in my 14.5" Starmaster, however
the 8" is the smallest aperture I've heard so far.  I had always heard 10" was
the smallest required aperture to glimpse it, and of course seeing has to be
about perfect.
