"Though parted by a gulf more impassable than any sea, the telescope lets us traverse what otherwise had been barred and lands us at last above the shores we went forth to seek. Real the journey is, though incorporeal in kind. Since the seeing strange sights is the essence of all far wanderings, it is as truly tavel so the eye arrive as if the body kept it company."

Oops!
I meant to ask if anyone has tried to see the new large Kuiper belt object that was recently discovered. It is ~14 magnitude so I've been told, but I can't remember its name and I have no Idea where to look.
I saw Pluto with my 10" this summer and I wanted to try for something a bit fainter.
