Description

This the annotated version of my previous image showing sneaky quasars out past 20th magnitude (some quite distinct and some not so much) but not bad with a 71mm refractor under Bortle 4 skies where the Unihedron Sky Quality Meter reported just around 20th magnitude per square arcsecond.

There are 3 Bright Stars, 2 NGC Objects, 65 PGC Galaxies and 137 quasars out to magnitude 20.65 if you squint hard enough.
