Subject: [AZ-Observing] Asteroid 1998 QE2 Image

Asteroid 1998 QE2 near close approach tonight.  Ten frames, all very short 
15-second exposures, spaced 15 seconds apart.  Image scale is roughly 1" per 
pixel.

The asteroid was easily visible in a 10-inch in the city.  "Real time" movement 
was difficult to detect, but you could see patterns change in 10 or 15 seconds 
while viewing it at 220x.
