1.7 hours of footage. Recorded just hours after its close approach to earth with an 8" LX200 classic and MCHP at f/3 (14 second exposures). This asteroid can be likened in size to the starship Enterprise, possibly as small as Kirk's Enterprise, possibly as large as Picard's Enterprise-E. A few power lines and satellites pass through the field of view during the video.
