Hi All,
I was talking to a friend recently and he was asking me which was the most difficult object that I had observed. After thinking for a while , I realised that the most difficult object to find for me was the Horsehead Nebula in Orion.
I was just wondering what your most difficult object has been?

The Horsehead Nebula is fairly tough but for me seeing one of the gravitationally lensed arcs of Einstein's Cross through Dave Barrett's 24" Tectron at Cherry Springs State Park would rank as my most difficult DSO observation.
