The star's absolute magnitude is about -9! The first time I identified it with binoculars was in February 1999, when I estimated S Doradus to be of magnitude 9.5-10.0. /Timo Karhula Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on Any resolvable stars outside Milky Way? astrokido 07/09/08 11:26 PM Re: Any resolvable stars outside Milky Way?
