Asteroid flyby of earth mid sept (467317) 2000 QW7

Is anyone going to take a look at 2000 QW7?

i've figured out how to get coordinates out of NASA horizons (which is new to me). I've put in the observer coordinates for Sydney in this table.

my assumption is that i can plug those coordinates into a goto or stellarium and be fairly close to the mark at 10pm on the dates listed.
edit: Table updated with AEST offset and correct times

I doubt i'll see it optically on a celestron edge 8 at mag 14, i'll plan to capture a few long exposures and diff them to see if i can spot it moving.

Does anyone have any experience/suggestions?

I was going to put this in the beginner forum but after putting the table in i thought this really isn't a beginner topic

Asteroid 153201 (2000 WO107) will approach the Earth at a distance of no more than 4 million km. The asteroid contains nickel, iron, and cobalt. According to researchers, the value of its minerals is $ 17.4 billion.
