Just curious, has anyone managed to see the asteroid Vesta since I
know it's approaching its closest point to the Earth in the next few
days.....

Thanks for the heads-up. If the weather clears I'll go out and have a
look, Vesta and Uranus ought both to be reasonably visible. If only I
could find somewhere with neither a house, nor bright street lights,
nor a dreadful reputation for muggings, on the south horizon ...
