Per Kurt's suggestion I worked 2010 RF12 tonight as it's closing for a close flyby (see Kurt's original post for details of the flyby). 20 one minute exposures shot at 5 minute intervals this morning (7 September) between 0648-0823 UTC. Distance from Earth at that time was about 0.0048 AU. North is up, east to the left. FOV is about 18' x 26'. Image scale 2.163". http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/2010RF12.GIF It's not that bright so it's a bit tough to see. It moves from upper left to lower right. patrick 718
