Bill Arnett,

Thanks so much for the information. After you told me the name, I looked at
S&Ts "Treasures of Deep Space" poster here on my office wall, and there it
is! Its not identified with any catalog number, so I didnt know it was NGC
5139. This kind of feedback is what makes MAPUG such a great place.

Im still waiting for 3:30 am so I can try to see it.

Forever a newbie,

Don Tabbutt
