[not there in uranometria. not
yet confirmed that it the asteroid] |
| 14:00 |
19:30 |
2 |
[not there in uranometria. not
yet confirmed that it the asteroid. but i cant see anything in position 1.
am using averted vision and cant say anything for sure] |

X1 |
seems fainter than asteroid. [X1
is not there in uranometria, its a star as it has not moved for some time.
just a hunch that what i saw in position 1 and 2 is the
asteroid] |
| 14:10 |
19:40 |
3 |
another very faint
star. |
| 14:12 |
19:42 |
|
it can be asteroid also. [am
talking about position 3. but the asteroid isnt supposed to be here according to its path i traced in uranometria.] |
| 14:13 |
19:43 |
4 |
yes it is the
asteoid. it has moved to position 4. it is off its predicted position. cant say about Dec, but in R.A it is about 12' towards north .. for a comparison, see this finder chart generated through Guide 7.0 |
| 14:16 |
19:46 |
5 |
now it is confirmed, it is
actually moving. [noticed the slight change in position] |
| 14:19 |

i think i lost it. i promise i
will not leave it, let me get it. |
| 14:35 |
20:05 |
|
this odd angle is taking its toll
on me, i have started to hallucinate. [asteroid is over 60 degrees high
and climbing. i am looking through a mounted binox. pain in
neck] |

8, X2 |
it is one of the position 8 and
X2 [both objects not there in uranometria] |
| 14:38 |
20:08 |

gotcha!! .. 8 moved to 9. hey
rock its me again  , missed me!! |

20:12-20:13 |
11 |
i actuall saw it moving
w.r.t X2 |
| 14:45 |
20:15 |
|
now it is getting hard to watch.
i have to open my mouth and put my teeth around this disk to make room
[for my face below the binocs].[this disk is a circular thing near the
base of the fork of the biox mount.] |

20:18 |
12, X3 |
mission accomplished!! it is
getting hard to observe. [X3 is not there in uranometria. it is the faintest star
that i plotted] |
