2005 YU55?

[Ramjo]

Hi

Is anyone gonna try to spot this asteroid when it passes closer than the Moon on the 8th or is the idea totally impractical?

I'm going to give it a go, there is a chart in the Nov issue of S@N which gives will help looking for it. It will be passing through the constellation of Aquila between 22.00 and 23.00 hrs. Not sure if I will spot it the best way seems to be to take two pictures and look for what has moved.
