Before going out, I cheated, and looked at the magnitude estimates on the AAVSO site, which showed that RS Oph has already faded to nearly magnitude 6. After a star hop, there was the yellow-white star. Here's an image that shows the "V" of Poniatowski's Bull pointing right at it. How could anybody miss it? http://members.cox.net/tpolakis/astro/RSOph2.jpg Tom -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
