The Asteroid Vesta...

Anyone seen Asteroid Vesta yet?

Fantastic finder chart in the SPA mag-Invaluably useful:

The faint Comets of 81P/Wild and Siding Spring (2007 Q3) around Mag 10 or less are a little bit out of my reach and I cannot pick these ones out or see them with my equipment.

I think I've seen Asteroid Vesta but I'm not sure-I'll have to wait for another clear sky window to confirm it and if it has moved in relation to the background stars-what's the betting its tonight it'll be clear (Sunday)....
