Brian Tung says:

I think I've seen the spiral structure in my 5-inch SCT, but that may just
mean I set myself a lower bar at the time for "hints" than other people
would. For what it's worth, I would not submit that one as a reliable
observation.

Haven't I heard somewhere that perception is reality or something to that
effect? I would say that if you think you've seen something that by its
nature is elusive in even a somewhat larger instrument then that is a
positive sighting. . .at least for the observer involved.
