Thanks, Bob. As usual, your observing report made me envious. And as usual, it 
brought up more new-guy questions. :) You generally mention in your reports that 
you always face the same altitude (as in alt-az), throughout your session, in 
this case a point on the meridian about 70o up. The IMO Good Book says observers 
should face the same area of sky throughout a session, and follow it as it 
tracks across the sky during the night. How do you report your center-of-FOV? 
Also, do other experienced observers do this? Seems for correction and analysis 
purposes, as though Bob's method would actually be preferable to the IMO Way.
