The latest S&T in Sue French's column she mentions M2-9 otherwise known as Minkowski's Buterfly as being difficult but doable in bigger scopes. I tried last night but couldn't see it with the 18-inch in dark but low transparency skies. I used the Ethos and an ultrablock. I am interested in knowing other's experience with this elusive object. Thanks. I will try again BTW.
