Any information on its position before the 18th, like, say, on the 12th, for the Observing Evening?

Ian

according to XEphem, it'll be in Aquarius. It'll also be estimated mag 13.5 :sad:

On the 17th at 7pm it'll be mag 9, at 18th 7pm it'll be mag 17. Course, if we sent Bruce Willis up with some nukes he could light it up for us.
