Hey Rick,
Yes, I caught it! I originally thought that I had caught Alpha Oph at a
wierd angle. I guess
I should trust my observing skills a bit more....How narrow a path would
something like that
project? I would think that it's rare enough to see one, but for 2
observers in such different
locations might be even rarer. Of course, looking in the right area at the
right time may have
a lot to do with it.... If anyone cares to do some math about it, my
coordinates are below...
