See Asteroid Florence Tonight in Frankfurt Germany

[lifeonmercury]

I live in Frankfurt, Germany and want to see this asteroid tonight. I have a set of decent binoculars. When and where should I look?

It will probably be difficult to spot with binoculars though.

During its visit, Florence will be traveling roughly south to north, crossing through the constellations Capricornus, Aquarius, Delphinus, Vulpecula, and Cygnus. An especially good opportunity occurs at about 8 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on Saturday evening, September 2nd, when the asteroid crosses the quartet of 4th-magnitude stars that mark the head of Delphinus, the Dolphin. It will be gliding northward by a little less than the full Moon's diameter each hour, motion that should be obvious by watching the asteroid's starlike pinpoint through a telescope for just a few minutes.
