It was too windy to take really long exposures, I was limited to 2 minute maximum, even then had to chuck out a majority of them.

Equipment used Meade 10" RCX (F8), SBig ST-10XME binned 3x3.

How good are the orbital calculations for this one?

Hey Stuart, try

That should give you orbital elements, or try emailing Rob McNaught @ Siding Spring Survey page

Cheers!
I doubt i'll be attempting to see this thing!
