Fellow BMAA member Alan Pasicnyk reported to me last night that he did
see it near
R Cor Bor last evening from Doylestown, PA which is located around 25
miles or so north of my Yardley, Bucks County location.
And I do have much more light polluted skies than Alan does.
I will try again tonight if the skies stay clear as they are now at
2:56 pm EDT.
I spent about 1 hour looking and had no luck finding Fragment B on
Friday night (April 23) but C was reasonably easy.
However I have not seen them visually yet and only found them with the
aid of a CCD camera with 1/2 second exposures on a MAK 5" scope, which
lets me see stars of magnitude 11 or 12.
My skies are severely light polluted at visually mag 2.5 to 3 (downtown
Calgary Alberta) and even with a 6x 30 mm finder, i can just barely see
Mag 6 stars.
