Vesta Asteroid

Is this one we can image?
It is due east at about 40 degrees elevation at 20.00 tonight.
Or about 15-20 degrees below Antares.

Interesting to read your post as I have been looking it up just now.
I have yet to determine if its movement is noticable...do you know?

Guys I imaged it back in May, it certainly can be imaged. You may not get great detail, depending on your scope, but the movement definitely stands out and can be captured even in a wide-field shot. In my image, I catch it crossing the Sagitarius star field near two dark nebulae. You can see it here:

Zoom in if you can, and read the details on the Tech card page.
