Thanks for the heads up. All planetarium s/w uses a geocentric calculation for planetary calculations that mean that they could be several degrees out up here on the surface! Fortunately those smart people at the Minor Planet Center
https://minorplanetcenter.net/iau/MPEph/MPEph.html have provided a web service to get a pinpoint prediction.
Melbourne Observatory is code 908, it saves some time mucking around with the location settings!
It's been a while since I've recorded one, but centre on the precise position and record a few mins of video which you can use to fast forward and reverse to pickup the asteroid amongst the stars. Once you know exactly where it is, its easy to frame properly for a drift through. Here's a playlist of ones I've captured:
