Default Juno, Neptune, Uranus, Vesta, Metis

Since i've been kind of hooked on asteroids lately i thought i'd try
for Juno tonight with the TV76. Juno is currently in Scutum at mag
10.5. Took a bit of careful starhopping with a printed SkyTools chart
to find this one. Juno was right at the limit of visibility. I did see
a mag 10.6 star but nothing fainter. Moving eastward i found Neptune
easily using a printed chart. Next was "bright" Uranus and then my
friends Vesta and Metis. Neptune, Uranus and Vesta were all visible
with 10x42 binoculars. Juno and Metis were not. My home skies are
about naked eye mag 4.6.
