Hey, I knew you could get it. Not much reason for me to even try for awhile. Except for the small streak in appearance (could be a galaxy on edge) I wouldn’t know if I ‘d captured it, anyway. Nice to see it’s there. Hoping. Dave On Jan 2, 2013, at 1:56 AM, Wiggins Patrick <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> wrote:
Well, I got it but it's not much to look at tonight:

Provided the clouds go away some day.

However, at the moment, its magnitude is a little out of range for visual observation. At least none of my scopes could pick it out. Here's a 24-hour ephemeris taken from RTGUI. It's for my St. George location. As you can see from the data it transits relative to my location at ~02:00. This is the time when Patrick is at his best. By the way, who purchased or received astronomic equipment for Christmas? The weather down here in St. George has been quite nasty for observation. I know one of you guys screwed it up. Tyler, did your new equipment come in?
