Hi Bill,
I used SkyTools to create finder charts for Mars, Phobos & Deimos at
15-minute intervals for tonight. Here are the results. All times are MST.
Position angle and separation are in relation to Mars:
PHOBOS DEIMOS
TIME P.A. SEP. P.A. SEP.
11:00p 275.5 2".3 117.5 42".3
11:15p 293.7 7".7 117.9 45".3
11:30p 296.8 13".0 118.3 48".1
11:45p 298.2 17".8 118.6 50".7
12:00a 299.0 21".9 119.0 53".3
12:15a 299.6 25".1 119.2 55".7
12:30a 300.1 27".3 119.5 57".9
