Re: Saturn and Vesta and the moon tonight

Steve, I just found out Vesta is magnitude 7.44 It's slightly down to the right of Saturn (Starry Night CD-Rom); I thought I could see it with the 20x80 binos, but I'm not at all sure it's the right one (though, probably...).
And Ikeya-Zhang....well, I'm going to have to leave home right after sunset and find a suitable western horizon...very difficult!
But what a beautiful moon! I think Petavius was the crater that was half in the shade, half in the sunlight (ok, I'm not sure).
