Hi Stefan,

For example, consider the first row.
2013-Feb-15 12:00 corresponds to 23:00 on the night of 15th Feb in Melbourne.
RA is 00:45:52.92 and Dec is -83:01:11.1, which corresponds to an azimuth of 188.6 degrees (i.e in the south) and a elevation of 36 degrees
above the horizon. At that time it will be 34% illuminated with an apparent magnitude of 13.75, so pretty dim.
At that instant, it will be in Octans.
