Thanks!

I'm running SkySafari 4.3.5 Plus. I updated the Minor Bodies database, but it doesn't recognise "2004 BL86" as an object name. However, I was able to find it using its other designation "357439". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%28357439%29_2004_BL86

Best time to view looks to be about 9:00 pm - 2:00 am (Brisbane time) on the night of Sunday 26 / Monday 27 January, when it should reach magnitude 9 - 10 (so probably going to need a telescope rather than binoculars to spot it), in the general vicinity of Sirius.
