    For my observation August 11 at 20:45 UT (+/- 5 min) Muurame (25.6E,
    62.1N) I would estimate the azimuth due East and altitude 12 degrees,
    slighly higher than Jupiter. For last night (Raasepori) I dont know
    more tthan "near Jupiter" as reported by the observer, I will contact
    him to find if a better e
