    Checked out Jason and Timed but couldn't get good magnitude info...

    Tracked the Urugan payload B for about four minutes, nice and steady on descent in the
    Northeast sky through Perseus.

    First trip to the "Orchard" with the new scope and wow, what a view,
    Orion nebula and other deep sky objects apparent, lim mag 12+.
    Tycho only goes to some 11.5's and I was seeing a heck of a lot more.
    
    Rob, Is there a skychart compatible with skymap that goes to maybe
    mag 14??
