Skippy is indicating that it *might* be clear down here on the Peninsula. If ever there was a time I needed my lucky rabbit's foot, this is it.
Anybody able to anticipate what the observational techniques will be? I am new to astronomy but a tech guy, so have "almost" mastered my C-6SE. But, I don't have a direct connect between Sky Safari and my scope yet, so I am plotting several points along the path and loading them into the user-defined coordinates on the scope.
Do you think it will be possible to see the asteroid (or it's shadow even) against the backdrop of Eta Carina, or even the sky as it grows slightly lighter? I have no idea how to approach observing such an object! Is it even possible with a 6" scope?
