Thanks, Paul and Brian. I'll give both sites a try and see what happens. I
want to see and photograph Ceres and Vest at the Marathon.

Kevin,
If an object is known to be up from a "what's up" kind of page, then I use the
"Minor Planet Ephemeris Service" to get RA and DEC (Google "Minor Planet
Center"). Maybe you've already tried this. Just enter the object name and
observing time intervals and Voila, it quickly makes a table of positions vs.
time. It takes a little getting used to but it helped me photograph one of the
recent fast moving asteroids.

Subject: [AZ-Observing] Asteroid Coordinates
Hey All.
Does anyone have knowledge of an easy and good website to go to and get
coordinates for asteroids for whatever date one plans on looking for them?
I've been looking and can't find an easy one for rookie star gazer to go to.
A site where you just enter the name or number of the object and date and WHAM!
the RA and Dec are there for the taking.
Thanks in advance for the help.
