3C273 - Quasar in Virgo
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 http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-DSO-QSO-3C273.htm . Anthony.
