The path goes centrally across Santa Cruz county, with Santa Cruz a bit on the north side, and the northern limit through the SC Mtns. The star is bright, and just a couple of degrees west northwest of Pi Scorpii (the bottom of the 3 stars in the head of Scorpius), at 27 degrees altitude in the southeast. That's visible from my driveway, where I plan to observe unless fog threatens.

Good weather, and I set up on Rincon just below, to be able to see the head of Scorpius. But, it was a clean miss. Kirk set up at UCSC upper meadow, and also had a miss. Both are reported to IOTA.
At my site, on Rincon St. |
Kirk's light curve. I didn't make mine - I replayed and convinced myself it was a total miss |
Kirk took time to look at M4, which was very close to the target star, at 64x (1 sec integration). Remarkably good. |
