Jayray Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 JB, congrats again!!! :wubu: :yourock: Well, it's only 4.5 Astronomical Units from us (93,000,000x4.5=418,500,000mi.) from us, so let's hope it stays in place :innocent0009: . And it's at a magnitude of 14.3, which is pretty dim for my scope, but highly likely with a bigger one (12,14,16") :hmmmmmm: . I'll try to decode the RA and Dec to see where in space it's at.

Paleface Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 John B. My congratulations go out to the 3 of you. That is quite an honor and one that you yourself well deserve. Your generosity in giving both material and information about Gold Basin to numerous individuals and organizations has earned you a piece of the universe that is still in orbit. You can now add another heading to your calling card.....(Craters created) :hmmmmmm: Would OMAN be a good place for the crater? :;): Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
