Die kaart wat met Skytools 3 geskep is wys die paajie wat Vesta vir die volgende klompie dae gaan volg. is vir 13 Februarie voorberei. Vesta gaan nog tot in Mei maklik gevolg kan word. Die Helder ster is Algieba in Leo met `n magnitude van 2. Links binne die wit sirkel (42mm oogstuksirkel) is die ster HD 89930 (magnitide 7).Regs bo in wit sirekl is die veranderlike ster Leo 40 (Mag 4.8). Op 15 Februarie is Vesta ook naby `n ster. Met behulp van die sterre kan jy nou maklik vir Vesta opspoor.
Hier is inligting wat ook met Skytools 3 geskep is:

Visual Observing Synopsis for 2010 Feb 13
On this night (4) Vesta is best visible between 22:36 and 03:30, with the optimum view at 01:03. Look for it in Leo, high in the sky in complete darkness. It is obvious visually in the Orion SkyQuest XT10 Dob. Use the Plössl 4mm for optimum visual detection. It is magnitude 6.2.
In the following 30 days this object is obvious visually from February 13 on, with the best view coming on February 18. During this period it will reach peak brightness of magnitude 6 on February 19 and will reach minimum altitude of 22° on March 4.
