At mag 14.5, it should just becoming possible to see in the video camera.
Make sure you look in the right direction from your site  |
Thanks AstroJunk. I have gone old school and plotted the JPL co-ordinates onto a star chart. It is covering a lot of sky and will be fun to track.
I was attempting to input NASA's JPL data into Starry Night as they have not provided an update which includes 2012 DA14. The information that was extracted from this data is
way off the JPL coordinates given for our location. I was being very careful, but I have messed up the data entry somehow.
Even though my attempt at adding a new object into SN failed, I now know a little more about the process than I did before.
