I should add that it is thought to be about 19 meters across. If someone told me when I first got into this hobby in the early 50's that technology would come far enough an amateur could photograph a 19 meter asteroid at over 400,000 miles and track it while doing so I'd have thought them nuts. For 50 years before I got into the hobby it had changed little as to technology. Boy has that changed!
