Your header declares that the brightest stars are only
16th magnitude. I think that is shortchanging this old fellow
a bit and that figure ought to be revised upward to about
13th. Anyway I don't have any trouble seeing about 15 - 20
members with my 10 in.

Great Work!

Oops!


I am glad to see that my reference seems to be correct then.


I just checked Uranometria's DSFG and they are in total
agreement with you. This means I must have been looking at
something else.


I am already expecting the DSFG in the mail which will also help me in
the future with such matters.


Still a great image even if it is as difficult as 6791.


Just a little patience for Lyra to get higher in the sky and we will
have this one bagged as well.

Anthony.
