Re: See Ceres
*Visible with binoculars:
If you are looking for an early evening challenge, then why not try your hand at 8.6 magnitude asteroid Ceres? On this date, it will be just slightly (around 1 degree) northeast of visual double, Nu Librae.
Info courtesy universetoday.com. If we get a break in our monsoon weather, I'm going for it.

Good luck.

Re: See Ceres
Found a sky chart and positional data
Interesting to find out that it was the first one ever discovered after the planets.
