I would love for somebody to tell me whether I'm on the right track here?

1. Plugged my location into http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons.cgi (Pic 1)
2. From the generated ephemeris, selected the time period of closest approach (Pic 2)
3. Plotted the RA and DEC for times before dawn twilight (Pic 3)

So, on Saturday morning around 4:40am, I should be looking in the right direction?

Cheers

Chris
