    Wow!.. That makes you like a perfect observer!
    
    You're outside anyway, why not try those asteroid occultations!

    PS.. I am dismantling my setup today so I can take the ST80 / Mintron with
    me for a week in Porterville, CA starting Tuesday night.. Hopefully I can
    get some high precision points on X37..

    Typical spring night - no set up due to clouds. They cleared; saw a few LEOs
    and variables. Now it was late enough to set up scope for asteroid
    occultation [(1741) Giclas Derek, and it was negative here]. So, since I've
    set up, might as well look for highfly objects. Tried for:
    
    13637 23468 20205 90040 36108 27785 with no luck (city skies?)
    
    and finally got 28546 = nice and easy and variable just as clouds poured
    in! I put the scope up and noticed the clear skies afterwards. I lay down
    for an hour and went out to see X-37B in gaps in the fast moving low cloud.
    Its position should be ok, despite the terrible conditions. Very easy and
    bright.
