Let's hope there is no cosmic billiards occurrence to upset all the carefully plotted trajectories

11th magnitude, yay!...not. :D

Carefully plotted? If there's anything carelessly in this universe, that must be asteroid trajectories. :)

isnt 11th magnitude hard to see? you need a really good telescope to see that and even then its hard unless you have a auto telescope?

A little brighter then Pluto to get some idea of its brightness.
