2004 XP14 sightings?

Did anyone make a sighting of 2004 XP14? I had a lot of trouble, mostly
due to the light pollution. It took me a few minutes to find the right
star field; I wasn't using PleiadAtlas, so that might have been part of
the problem. I started following the asteroid's track at around 1:30
PDT, and it wasn't until about 2:10 that I *think* I saw it. XP14's
magnitude was right at the limiting magnitude for a 5-inch scope, at the
time, so I really had to push averted vision to the limit. If I did see
it, it was moving fast--perhaps faster than I expected.
Cloudy in Salida.
