Details:
Image (single 120-second exposure) of 2012 TC4 obtained on 2017, Oct. 11.35, few hours before its close approach. At the moment of the shot, the asteroid was of magnitude ~15.9 and moving at ~24"/min. The asteroid is trailed in the image due to its fast speed. (North is up, East is to the left).
