Below is information about the last chart showing NEAR's path in Musca, but I it think that few, if any, of you will be able to record NEAR, which will probably be 22nd or 23rd magnitude during January 25th U.T. Chart 6, to be placed soon on IOTA's Web site at http://www.anomalies.com/iota/splash.htm, shows NEAR's path across part of Musca for several cities on 1998 January 25. The tick marks are at half-hour intervals. Most hour tick marks are labelled with just the integer hour so that "6" would mean 6:00 U.T. As can be seen from the larger region of Chart 5, Chart 6 is about 1 deg. west and a little north of 4.0-mag. gamma Muscae, which can additionally be located on the wider area of Chart 3. The brightest star on the chart is 8.3-mag. SAO 256925. The plot is based on the ACT catalog, but I have added many stars from the Guide Star Catalog from a "Sky" (from Software Bisque) plot of part of the field to make coverage complete to about 13th mag. For most stars brighter than mag. 12.0, I have written the magnitude of the star to a tenth of a mag., but leaving out the decimal point. So "119" would be for a star of mag. 11.9. A few of the faintest stars shown are 14th mag., but the plot is not complete to that magnitude. David Dunham, IOTA, 1998 Jan. 24, 23h U.T.
