Anyone interested in trying to observe/ image Asteroid 2005YU55 should read up on this article and check out the relevant links:
www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/home/133013563.html
The closest point occurs on the night of Nov 8-9, at maximum magnitude of 11.8 - should make for fair viewing in the main 'scope.
Remember that Earth and Sky labs occur Tues and Wed 7:30-9:30, and use the Observatory on clear nights.
If you're interested, reply below and try to put a group together. If you're looking for a nice night to practice running the Dome, this could be it! Or, if you'd like to learn to use the CCD camera!
