Hi All, Just in case you haven't already heard, asteroid 2002 NY40 is going to provide a rare treat Saturday night to Sunday morning. On its closest approach it will be traveling with an angular velocity of 8 arc minutes per minute!!! Here is a URL with more info: http://skyandtelescope.com/observing/objects/asteroids/article_697_1.asp I'll definitely be watching it from Antelope Island with the rest of the OAS. I think I'll try to track it with my STV. Thanks, Dale.
