2006 VV2 Found it.

by Mark Johnston

Found the 2006 VV2 rock at 2:15am after having to wait out cloud layers and see that my Starry Night pro was off by a bit in its predictions. It was brighter than a mag 11.37 it went right by and more in the range of a mag 9.71 it went fairly near. Also noted my just updated Starry Night Pro showed it as well but was off by perhaps a quarter degree from actual location in RA. Dec was closer.

Patchy clouds were frustrating but cleared up enough later on to allow decent star hopping to find the little guy.
