Hi All, For those interested in trying to locate comet Bradfield in the pre-dawn skies, you can use the following data with SkyMap: 2000. 'Brad 4/21','', 1.30367, 17.0717, 3.3 'Brad 4/22','', 1.22133, 19.5617, 3.8 'Brad 4/23','', 1.15600, 21.8000, 4.3 'Brad 4/24','', 1.10517, 23.8067, 4.8 'Brad 4/25','', 1.06617, 25.6083, 5.2 'Brad 4/27','', 1.01533, 28.7033, 6.0 'Brad 4/29','', 0.99067, 31.2750, 6.7 'Brad 5/1','', 0.98367, 33.4583, 7.3 'Brad 5/3','', 0.98900, 35.3467, 7.9 'Brad 5/5','', 1.00267, 37.0100, 8.3 The above data is in the same format as DEEPSKY.TXT. Two options: either temporarily rename DEEPSKY.TXT to something else and create a new DEEPSKY.TXT with the above text in it, or simply append the lines (following "2000.") to the end of your existing DEEPSKY.TXT. The comet is still pretty close to the sun (about 10 degrees away tomorrow morning), so you will need a good horizon in your northeast to have any hope of spotting it. --Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
