Erik Hansen and I saw both Stephan's Quintet and another cluster (designation escapes me at the moment) throught the 32" at SPOC on Friday Aug. 10. Neat! On 8/19/07, Kurt Fisher <fisherka@csolutions.net> wrote:
Wanna see more than one galaxy in an e.p. view?
After the end of last night's star party, there was some discussion of (I believe) NGC7336 in Peg as an example of galaxy clusters that are visible in amateur telescopes. Stephen's Quintet is another common example.
Here's a list that I ran across sometime ago on the Saguaro Astronomy Club website by Steve Coe listing galaxy clusters from Abell's catalogue that may be visible in amateur class telescopes.
