Vissual sighting 2012 DA 14

Managed to ambush the asteroid with 8" newtonian on dob mount.
First between Camelon and Theta Car, next as it passed through theta Car nebula. Could only find it if it passed a brightish star I was looking at at the time. I suspect it was fainter than the predicted 9th mag. I saw it fade on the first observation.
