Vesta again
Another clear night so I decided to try for Vesta again. Last night it was too hazy and I had trouble spotting anything other than Jupiter and Aldeberan. Tonight I could easily see Zet Tau so I grabbed my 7x50's and went to the observatory. Oh, earlier today I swabbed out my observing space with a power washer. It's all washed and swept clean now. Anyway, I quickly spotted the pentagon of stars south of Zet Tau and began looking for Vesta. It wasn't immediately apparent but with averted vision and occasional clearing of the haze I was able to spot it right where it should be, just south of a line joining 115 and 111 Tau.
