Hi. Just joined the forum.
An avid astrophotographer, I managed to capture this half mile wide piece of rock whiz by on the night of July 3rd from my back garden in Essex.
You can see a pic I took here:
(this is actually 276 images stacked together to show the movement over about 40 minutes.
I also made a movie from the images:

It runs better if you right click, save as... and play it from your local PC WARNING: 6.8Mb mpeg file (but worth the effort
)
The images being temporarily hosted on my magazine website.
To think, this object was only 260,000 miles away
