Mr Sails will be very jealous. Was way too cloudy here to see even the
moon, let alone the asteroid....

Watched it last night through a pair of Leitz Trinovid Binoculars and
Leopold Gold Ring binoculars. The Leitz had an upper edge on clarity,
color
and resolution. They are also favorably reviewed in the optics message
boards. I snapped a picture using a Hasselblad body through a custom
Celestron MAK 200 mm scope. I used a 16 MP hyperspectral focal plane
imaginging array that covered near infra red through close UV. The
Celestron
had special optical coatings to maintain the same focal length regardless
of
wavelength. The multispectral imaging is superb! The viewfinding scope on
this piece of glass far exceeds standards for university level telescopes.
Look for pictures on my upcoming website.

Save the children!

Amen!
