Close Pass of Minor Planet 2012 LZ1

The minor planet 2012 LZ1 passed close by in the early hours of this morning, unfortunately skies were cloudy.
2012 LZ1 is a large Near-Earth Object (NEO) approximately 300-700 metres in size.
It was discovered by Rob McNaught on June 10th 2012 from the Uppsala Telescope at Siding Spring Observatory.
2012 LZ1 was at its closest approach of 13-14 lunar-distances on June 14 23:10 UT.
At it’s brightest it will be around 14th magnitude, so it should be fairly reasonable to capture on an image, even from my light polluted skies, if you can find it, but a challenge to see visually.
I have finally managed to get the path plotted for asteroid over the next few days. Times shown at 5 hour intervals.
It passes through Aquila over the next couple of days, heading north.
It is just north of Altair when it gets dark on the 16th. Click on image for closer view.

Let’s hope we get some clear skies…
