On 3 July 2006, the asteroid 2004 XP14 flew past the Earth. It brightened to magnitude 11 on that day.
I didn’t do any observation on this object as my leg was fractured so I was unable to carry the telescope to my garden. Luckily, one amateur shot this object down using his Meade DSI II Pro and Celestron 11 telescope at f/4 as the asteroid passed through the constellation Cassiopeia.
He combined a series of his pictures into a 1.9-megabyte QuickTime movie showing the asteroid’s motion. Credit to him! =d>
