My understanding is that one of the 3 new planets announced a week or two ago is designated 2003EL61. I got ephemeris info from the Cartes-du-Ciel user's group. Last night I imaged the correct patch of sky. From the ephemeris file, the object is listed as mag 17.5. If that is correct, then I think I successfully imaged it (just barely).
The image and the corresponding sky chart are posted here: http://www.princeton.edu/~rvdb/images/NJP/2003EL61.html It was rather low in the early evening and so there was lots of NJ sky glow---not a very pretty image. Nonetheless, it seems that I got it. And, not to waste the first clear evening in a long time, I grabbed a snapshot of M92 too: http://www.princeton.edu/~rvdb/images/NJP/m92.html -- Bob Robert J.
