[AZ-Observing] Re: Jennifer's confluence info please

Steve,
Sounds about right to me, based on what Jennifer presented at the last 
SAC meeting.  It was evidently publicized in the French magazine, 
"Astronomie".  I did not catch the name of the author of the article...  
Hopefully, Jennifer will share the full citation....
I am sure it is visible in binoculars (although I have not tried for it 
myself....)  No. 114 is good!  Spelling is correct; also designated by 
the French author as "Polakis 1".
