[vsnet-obs 24582] Visual Observation of SN1999em

[chester.geoff@usno.navy.mil]

Greetings, all...

I'm new to the list, so please forgive me if I don't have protocol/format
down pat.  Now that I've found a new reasonably dark site less than an hour
from downtown Washington DC I hope to make more observations of objects like
this.

Observer:  Geoff Chester	

Location:  Middleburg, Virginia (38.98N, 77.70W)

Instrument:  37-cm Newtonian, 13mm Nagler eyepiece, at 127X

Naked-eye limiting magnitude at SN's location in sky: 5.5

Observation time: 991105.22

Estimated visual magnitude: 13.5, +/- 0.1

Sequence:  Arne Henden's sequence, cf. vsnet-chat 2384

Cheers,

Geoff
