mag 11??  im a newbie cheers

Very nice start. Mag 11 means magnitude 11. This is a measure of the brightness of celestial objects. The lower the magnitude the brighter the object. The visual limit is usually given as mag 6. Anything with a higher mag needs optics to view it.

Sorry Iwols. Mag -4, very bright. Mag 0, bright. Mag +4, fairly dim. Mag + 11, very dim. Mag +14 Pluto.
