The event will happen on Saturday the 10th of Oct at about 7:55 pm. Theta Ceti will be 30 degrees high almost due East.
Please put it in your 'to do' list, it would be a really significant observation as this asteroid has never been measured before.
I will bang the drum a little closer too

Hi Jonathan,
Will this make for a good target to video record, I might give it a go if it is.
Also I might be just outside the target zone as I am in Shailer Park near the Hyperdome, still would it be worth having ago or are the calculations for the target zone accurate?
And if so will say .25 second intergrations be ok or would you need faster ones?
Matt.
