Daily conjunction ephemerides for the period of: Monday, 1995 Dec. 11 - Sunday,
1995 Dec. 17. The conjunctions are sorted by time (UT). All known asteroids and
objects of the NGC 2000.0 are included in the list which meets the following
criteria: The minimum elongation to the sun has to exceed 30 degrees, the
maximum elongation to the NGC/IC Object is 10 arcmin and the limiting magnitude
of the asteroid is brighter or equal than 14.0 mag. The Ephemerides were
calculated with a step of 5 min. Coordinates are for J2000.0 and FK5. Every
fifth issue detailed explanations are given at the end of the ephemerides.

If the asteroid is not numbered, alternately the designation is given. 'JDate'
is the Julian Date yymmdd for the anomaly M in degrees. 'Halfa' is the great
half axis a in astronomical units. 'Eccen e' is the eccentricity of the
orbit. 'Perihel', 'Node' and 'Inclin.' are these three orbit angles in degrees.
H is the magnitude of the object in 1 A.U. from the sun and the earth, G is the
factor in the calculation of the objects brightness, which is too complicate to
list here (see textbooks). 'Source' is the source of the elements, usually from
a minor planet circular. These orbital element list is only for an overview,
which orbit I used. For well-known objects the accuracy of the published
original elements may be some digits better than given here.

Explanations of the columns in the ephemerides:

                  degrees).

These ephemerides should promote the observing of conjunctions.

These ephemerides were computed with a program by Andreas Doppler with an Apple
Performa 630 computer (Version of 1995 Nov 15th).

Please let me know if you observed a conjunction (or not).
You can reach me at a.doppler@uriela.in-berlin.de (InterNet).

Because of the reason that software and/or datas may be incorrect, I cannot
guarantee the correctness of the ephemerides above.
