Hi again,

just back from a relatively short observing run on this speedy rock.

Downloaded fresh elements from the MPC and made a finder chart with Guide. The
asteroid was off the trail by less than 1 minute of arc to the SW. The timing
seemed right on. It still baffles me that the object symbol and the trail do not
match. but as long as I can find what I'm looking for, I'm pleased.

My location coords may be off a little bit, but at any rate, the trail matched
real life better than the object symbol. Go figure.

At any rate, at 21.50 UT you will find me on my balcony with my eye fixed to the
eyepiece while I follow this rocky fellow race past M71, an event Guide made me
aware of. Thanks!

Happy observing!

Best regards,

Arild :)
