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.....

Hi:

With all the storms we've been havin' down here in Possum Swamp, I haven't seen
Vesta this time around, but she is usually very easy, being a breeze in
binoculars or a finderscope.

Peace,
