Anyone seen NGC 4676 (The Mice) in a 15" telescope or less? I'm planning on trying for it this weekend. Another target I plan on viewing is NGC 6027 (Seyfert's sextet). I was wondering what power would be best for these faint fuzzies.

Here's some info on the Seyfert's Sextet (also known as the Hicson 79 group), Debbie.

Why did I even have the info? The group appears to have a high surface brightness which caught the attention of my 4" TV-102 Light Cup ;-). First battle a few nights ago under mag 5.5 sky resulted in failure :-(.

I wish you success, please wish me much luck ;-).
