Getting brighter, easy object in most scopes now! I imaged it again, just before moonrise yesterday evening. Better result than the other night as it was much brighter, and the darker skies helped!

Here are a couple of rough little animations, 1998 QE2 at centre of field. If I had the session over again, I'd have lengthened exposures to get better SNR.

Also, a stack on stars showing the trail of the asteroid as it moved across the field:

Look forward to more reports on this one!
