Juno in Orion

While hunting objects for some class and public observing sessions,
I just noticed that Juno, one of the "big four" main-belt
asteroids, currently appears in Orion, currently a couple of
degrees north of the belt and moving southward. On Nov 15 it
will be particularly easy to spot, about 1/2 degree west of
Delta (Mintaka, the wetsernmost star in the belt). Guide8
gives a magnitude of 7.7 for Juno.

Bill, thanks for the heads up on Juno... it should be fun to track it
over time... if one stays up or gets up for it!
