[BAA-ebulletin 00837] Near Earth Asteroid 357439 (2004 BL86) - Live feed

[BAA electronic bulletins service]

Weather permitting the BAA is planning to broadcast a live feed of 
images of this bright asteroid close-approach using my telescope in 
Chelmsford.

If all goes well we should first see the object around 1900UT as it 
rises above my local horizon. At that time the object will be around 
magnitude 9.6 moving at around 160 arcsec/minute (0.04 deg/min).

For a short while tonight this object will be brighter than 9th 
magnitude and it will be visible in large binoculars or a small 
telescope. For details see the article by Richard Miles on our website:
