    10-4... Thanks for the confirmation on the position.. 
    
    We will see if I can detect it.. It does pass by a mag 8 star for me, so
    that's easy enough..
    
    Now if my setup can capture it.. 
    
    Not holding my breath, but I like the impossible.. I live for the
    impossible..
    
    Now to BBQ the steaks and the lobster tail and wait for darkness..
    
    Derek - Happy Independence Day USA..
    PS.. Also will videotape the ISS Tool Bag and any other good sats I have
    passes of..
    
    
    
    
    
    
    Hi Derek,
    I think people were possibly commenting cause the bright moon was up 
    limiting how deep you can go. It hasn't had that affect on the CCD. Also 
    you'll see the moon is pretty far from LCROSS' position in the sky.
    
    As for high up, yup, thats where it is.  Its been getting better and 
    transits around 10pm PDT, so you'll have lots of time to try grabbing it.
    cheers, ...paul.
