Hi there,

stuck on 20a (6) 'Tiny particle mostly seen around a second astronomical object.' I've got -u-s-r and don't know whether to go with 'pulsar' or 'quasar'.

Thanks

nice crossword today but not happy with parse of 17a

One managed to strike base camp (8)

I've got AFFECTED which equates to 'camp' but the 'strike base' bit eludes me.

A (one) [e]ffected (managed to strike base) – base = e as in logarithms
