Here's a viewing/imaging opportunity if ever I saw one! I heard about it in a podcast, S&T I think and put it into Stellarium:
Juno will take a couple of days to pass through M10 and will be in the same fov for 4 or 5 days. Here's hoping sky watching opportunities around here are better in June than they were in May!
At about 2.5° East of M10 and moving West every day, 3 Juno and M10 will be in the same field of view from the 17th to the 19th June. Less than 5 minutes apart at 01:40 GMT on the 18th.
Hello Greame. Thanks for the heads up the 3 Juno asteroid and M10 conjunction. It should look great in my 150mm f/5 refractor telescope and a 2" eyepiece if my skies ever clear up here.
