Is this asteroid in the SkySafari catalog? I haven't been able to find it using the catalog search facility, so I'm wondering whether it has another designation? I would LOVE to be able to catch a look in my telescope or 15x70 binoculars, if only I knew where to look! |
Hi Julian
I have Sky Safari Pro 4 running on my iPad and just updated the minor bodies list (Settings - Solar System - Update Minor Bodies) and I was able to find and centre 2004 BL86 via the Search screen.
Not sure if you have the Pro version? If so, be sure to update your minor bodies.
Cheers
