[bkm2304 (Richard Brown)]

Hi all,

This is an animation from last night taken over 17 minutes of Near Earth Object, (86666) 2000 FL10 heading south. It is moving at 3 Deg per day and will reach -80 Degrees in mid - November, fading as it goes.

At closest approach it was approx. 24 million km.

....and it did not annihilate the planet as suggested by the English and US Tabloid screamers!

Celestron C11 with Hyperstar (F2) and Nikon D7000. 20 S exposures @ ISO 1600.
