Thanks Suzy for pointing this out..
For those who want to have this asteroid in CdC, here is a recipe:

1) open the file "C:\Program Files\ciel\cat\planet\Asteroides.da t" with notepad or textpad

2) Enter the following as the first line exactly as below, and check the formatting in relation to other lines/entries (insert your line before Ceres entry, this will make it easier to find it later within CdC) and save the file:

1 2013 NEO |2013 04 18.000|0.571045 |2.421509| 12.8542|250.1715 |345.6122 | 2000|351.6072 |16.84| 0.32| 0.00

3) Run CdC and perform the usual thing for displaying the asteroids.

The elements were obtained from here (also could be found on Suzy's link): http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=1998%20QE2&orb=1
