If you want to ID asteroids, it's always easiest (or at least less difficult) when they are as far from the Milky Way as possible! On Sat, Feb 7, 2009 at 12:40 AM, Howard Jackman <sumoetx@yahoo.com> wrote:
Jay, boy that brings back memories of sitting in the "bowl" up at the University of Utah student housing with my 7x35s and Bushnell 60mm telescope! I watched Ceres over a week doing just what you said - Look at the area one night and revisit it. I found the charts in Sky&Tel magazine at the time to be plenty accurate and ID'd it the first night easily and sure enough it moved every night, a pretty cool sight! Good Luck.
