Asteroid Apophos

Hey folks, long time no anything...

I just read in the news that Asteroid Apophos will be passing by on Thursday night. Will it be possible to be seen with a scope?

The 390m lump of space rock will be close enough to be seen in the night sky after it has passed its closest point at 14.5 million kilometres later this week.

Potential awesomeness here!
