Dear Friends,

The quasar 3C273 in Virgo is the brightest visible quasar from Earth and
with a magnitude of 12.8 is also visible with average amateur equipment.
Lying at a distance of two BILLION light-years away, it is the furthest
any amateur equipment can reach (and especially right from one's backyard).

Further details including an image are available at

Antoni, beautiful, as always. Do you by any chance have the correct image
somewhere lurking along with the inverse image? I could not find it anywhere
and I'd be interested in seeing that as well.

Thanks.

Anthony.
