Hi

A lovely image...
..but for example http://www.guildfordas.org/observing...r_episode.html
~7 billion light years (I am not a member of the Guildford AS).

There are apparently quite a few others as well as AGNs that are observed,
imaged and monitored by amateurs.

Regards
Paul


Here's another - Q1634+706 in Draco. Light travel distance: 9 billion light
years. Distance now: 13 billion light years. Observed in a 10" and should
be visible in an 8".

Clear skies, Alan
