The Planet-C spacecraft "should" be able to be observed, depending on the intrinsic brightness of the object and your telescope/CCD equipment. Use the JPL Solar System Dynamics Horizons application: http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/?horizons to generate the specific observational circumstances for your location. Then it's simply a matter of taking lots of images and finding the object that moves... Sincerely, Richard Fredrick On 06/07/2010 02:32 AM, Vossinakis Andreas wrote: > Hi from Greece.
