Guys,

With lovely skies last night I managed to get imagery of this NEO as it whizzed by us. Included is an amination and a single image showing the motion of the asteroid.

Hi,

An observation of asteroid 2006 VV2:
Mar 31 22.45 to after 23.00 UT.
Estimated magnitude as preliminary about 9.5 (have not reduced them yet).
Yellow in colour.
Could almost see it moving. After a minute the change of position was noticeable.

25cm f/5 reflector with 13mm eyepiece.

Bright Moon near-by. Hazy sky.

John
