tuckstar Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 On 26/27 Jan a close approach asteroid (3x distance of moon) will hopefully reach mag 8.8. Might be worth a go. http://www.iflscience.com/space/asteroid-close-approach-be-visible-small-telescope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 From CN Forum: There's an article on the 2004 BL86 flyby on pages 50 and 51 of the February issue of Sky & Telescope. According to the article, observers in North and South America, Europe, and Africa will have the best views of the NEO, from 1:00 to 6:00 UT (8:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. EST) on January 27th. During that time, it will be heading northeastward through Cancer and will pass through the eastern boundary of M44 at 5:00 UT. 2004 BL86 will be traveling at approximately two arc seconds per second so its motion should be apparent in real time. tuckstar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 That would be something different to watch, or to video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
