keeps its stellar appearance even until 312x; it responds very well to the
OIII filter; 2 mag11 stars are 40"W and 70"ESE.
I can provide a scanned drawing of Me 2-2 to anyone who can read the binhex
encoding of Eudora (for Mac); just mail me to try
(ypothier@abi.snv.jussieu.fr), it works sometimes with other
configurations...
