I decided to image asteroid 2000 Wo107 (153201) early this morning after everyone went to bed around midnight.
This image is 14 x 30 second frames stacked on the asteroid. Note how quickly it was moving over that time frame. I tracked on the asteroid with the system to grab each frame.
Last night was it's closest approach to earth at 11 Lunar distance away.
