See an asteroid!

At the moment (and for the next few days) the large asteroid Vesta will be visible with binoculars in the constellation of Aquarius. If you have a DSLR that can take long exposures (say 10 seconds or so) using a tripod, at around 7.00pm, point it in between Saturn and Jupiter. Take a picture for three or four nights and you should notice Vesta moving against the background stars. (Which is how asteroids and comets generally are / were discovered!) Incidentally, you should also capture nearby Neptune and, further east, Uranus in the constellation of Aries.
