Dale, I'm sure your images will blow us away! Can't wait, this is exciting stuff. What amateurs do today would have been dissertation material a generation ago. And in some cases, it still is!

This discusses a free downloadable atlas called the Galaxy Trios and Triple Systems atlas maintained by Alvin Huey. It has a "sub-atlas" that discusses "bright" gravitationally lensed quasars. His atlas can be found at: http://faintfuzzies.com/Files/GalaxyTrios-v6.pdf These quasars range from magnitude 14.4 to magnitude 21.5. They include Einstein's Cross (Peg), Double Quasar (UMa), Cloverleaf Quasar (Boo), etc. I'm planning on trying to image some of these this year. Clear skies, Dale.
