No argument there Joe. The makers of Starry Night do not include some NEO's in their automatic updates. Instead I went through the process of manually adding the required data to Starry Night V6.3 and the results were way off when compared to the JPL data. Plotting the path of the asteroid on a paper star chart using the JPL data for my location was the solution.

Fingers crossed for clear skies.
