Anonymous Coward User ID: 1066660 Canada 04/07/2011 12:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | C/2010 X1 (Elenin pass in and disturb the asteroid belt At the moment, the comet is just getting to the area of maximum concentration of Main Belt asteroids, but already now, with the help of the program ArtemisSIMULATOR, we can find several close approaches over the course of 3-4 days. All the approaches are calculated on the basis of a nominal orbit. Thus, March 31, Comet Elenin passes 1,366,500 km (0.009 AU) from asteroid 2001 SC155. On the same day, nearby, at a distance of 1,255,000 km (0.084 AU) and 1,365,500 km (0.009 AU) it encounters another two asteroids – 2005 NF30 and 2007 FR10 respectively. The closest approach will be April 2 – the comet and asteroid 2001 WA49 will pass by each other at only 335,500 km, which works out to 0.87 LD (the average distance from the Earth to the moon)! Unfortunately, it will only be possible to see the close passage in images taken by the largest telescopes. The brightness of asteroid 2001 WA49 will be 21m. [link to spaceobs.org] |

Quoting: Astronutso, in the whole world of astronomy no one have a eyes on this event? smell bs desinfo |

That's pretty much the norm for a NEO flyby. This object is certainly larger than most NEOs, and magnitude 11 is brighter than a normal NEO flyby, but it's still beyond the reach of casual star gazers. |

Well when I say sky gazer I just mean someone either without a telescope or with a cheap store bought telescope. The scope needed to see this need not be expensive, but it needs to be a quality telescope with modest aperture. It would be easiest to do with an astrophotography setup capable of at least some deep space imaging. A large dobsonian could be used to spot it by eye as well, but you'd have to know exactly where to find it (one of the dob push-to or goto scopes Orion sells would work best).

By eye you should theoretically be able to spot it in the eyepiece, but it would be near the limit of what you can see with that telescope and might require averted vision. |

I would say check that site for the most updated info on things of that sort |
