Asteroid Vesta, TV76, 10/4/04

Asteroid Vesta is currently well placed and easy to find. Last night=20
using the finder chart on page 68 of the Nov S&T i had no problem=20
locating Vesta through my suburban-like backyard skies and Tele Vue 76
telescope. Will be fun to watch over the next month or so as it loops
around the star 97 Aqr. The planet Uranus is a bit to the west and was
also easy to spot. Both objects were visible in with handheld 10x42
binoculars as well.
