This is what I do all the time with minor planets. I am planning to do the same for pluto as soon as the clouds clear.
It really is a thrill to note that the "star"(point of light) you sketched has moved over 24hrs. You find yourself thinking about it all the next day, waiting for days end to get behind the scope again. And then you see that it's moved! Excellent
OK, lets do it again.
