Who's going to be watching it? Better yet.. who's going to be watching it with a camera mounted to their telescope?

I forwarded this to my dad, he's got a telescope and might be interested in seeing it.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to see it from the southern hemisphere.

I wonder if it's clear enough, could you see it with the naked eye?

[SgtM]

I don't know. It might look like a comet. It's "believed to be between 150 meters (500 feet) and 610 meters (2,000 feet) in size." The closest it will be is about 334,000 miles away. The moon is roughly 280,000 miles away.
