I don't know if I would consider today's an easy one (M87) just because of
the plethora of similar objects in the area.
That said, Astro-concentration has been an education. I learned to today
that in that small area around M49 and M87 there are 5 quasars including
3c273, the brightest of all quasars, which I have seen in Dick Trask's
scope.
Just trying to figure out the clues is what makes it fun for me, half the
time I get sidetrack on some other astronomical tidbit after an unsuccessful
google search for the clue.
BTW, the clue about the second largest constellation by area is what finally
confirmed I was in the right part of the sky.
Cool stuff,
Dave
