At a bit brighter than mag 18 and pretty well placed in the sky it should be pretty easy to get some images. For Utahans it'll be daylight at closest approach so we'll either have to try just after sunset or maybe the night before (mag 16 then). Weather permitting, of course. For the NASA release go here: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2010-115&rn=news.xml&rst=2549 For positional data go to: http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/iau/MPEph/MPEph.html and enter 2010 GA6 in the search box. If you're fairly close to Stansbury Park you can enter my Observatory Code 718. Further out you'll need to enter your long. and lat. patrick
