Tonight's the night for the closest approach of this 14th Mag Asteroid @ 2.5 Lunar distances away. It's moving quite quickly at a tad under 1 arc min per min.
This is a very deep southern object (-68 degrees last night, and moving north), so only we antipodeans will get a chance to see it at its brightest!
I captured this footage last night whilst doing some positional astrometry and posted it up on youtube:

And the guys at Universe Today have kindly given me a plug too:

Have fun trying to find it
