Got a picture of Ursa Minor (Little Bear) with Polaris (The Pole Star) ;D



*Have marked on the constellation and circled Polaris (also adjusted brightness slightly to make the stars stand out more)

I was outside until half past 12 and I wasn't able to see it. Besides, even if it is the size of an aircraft carrier, the space between the asteroid and the Earth is just too big, making the asteroid almost impossible to see with the bare eyes. 8 Inch (or bigger) telescopes would be able to catch a glimpse of the asteroid.
