Description:
WOW, this is an awesome sight in an 18 inch telescope, the amount of detail is extra-ordinary, there are at least 2 dust-lanes easily visible, the texture is grainy like. The core is very bright, but not blinding, the to compagnons are very good visible with detail in the larger one (m110?). Globular clusters are visible, exciting view!
