> How about adding some "vision" to your plan?  Instead of a mere ten degree

> instead at
> the metastable center of gravity of the two body system.  Now you get to 
> be in
> the middle of two irregular shaped planetoids, both tumbling around you
> FILLING 20 DEGREES OF ARC EACH, for double the pleasure.  That would be 
> forty full
> moons in apparent diameter a piece, under continuoius view.
