[/quote] Sorry, you misunderstand my meaning. I was simply demonstrating that being able to image in infrared is not a problem for many amateur astronomers. You're right, that picture is not of CW Leonis. It's really just another star, so it doesn't look all that impressive in my scope. [/quote] Oh, Ok, that makes more sense then:-) Can you tell me if the constellation in the video is Leo? Do you have any idea of what the object they are talking about is? Is it already identified? I'm not a big follower of this Planet X stuff, but that video is interesting. I would like to hear your take on it. [/quote] Yes, the constellation is indeed Leo. They're actually looking at a star known as CW Leonis. It's a well-studied infrared luminous carbon star - there have been about 1,746 scientific papers that have studied or mentioned this star since it was discovered in 1969. It's about 400-500 light years away. [/quote]
