Nice clear sky here this morning and the moon is obvious, roughly 30 degrees
elevation, WNW at 10 am. I intend noting, via land marks etc, where in the sky it is at 3/4 hour before and 3/4 hr after 12.30 today. Which position is it approximately tomorrow, the time before or after 12.30 today, if seeing is bad tomorrow? Their previous go at cosmic billiards threw up more material than expected so perhaps the same tomorrow and it is a lot closer. -- General electronic repairs, mainly music equipment these days , but anything considered other than TVs and PCs http://www.divdev.fsnet.co.uk/repairs.htm Diverse Devices, Southampton, England |

It won't be an exact fit due to motion southwards by a degree or two, but should be pretty close. -- Mike Dworetsky (Remove pants sp*mbl*ck to reply) |
