And later on in the evening of the 9th there'll be that other bright light, a big fat gibbous Moon! After twilight 2005 YU55 will only be about 20-deg from the Moon viewed from my place, and will close in on it over the evening. Still 'bright' in the high mag 11s, but pretty difficult to view/capture. Info from JPL Small-Body Database Browser:

Put "2005 YU55" in the Search box, hit enter, click on "Ephemeris", then input your observer location and a time span.
