Hi Kevin-

If you want to avoid RA and Dec, check out Heavens-above 
(www.heavens-above.com).  Once you enter your position and time, the asteroids 
section plots both wide field and 5 degree maps for asteroids brighter than 
11th magnitude.

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.
