Yes it it pretty bright and easy to find right now. I captured Vesta last week while imaging the Sagittarius Star Cloud area, it had apparent motion over the different RGB filters I used to capture the image. It was also irregular in shape, not round like a background star. You can see it in this image, with apparent motion towards the dark nebula (LDN323) near it. As I shot the red filter first, the red part of the image indicates where it was when I started, then the colour shifts as the G, then B, and Ha filters are used. Zoom in on full resolution mode to get a good look. Shot with a MN190 at 1000mm fl.
