Asteroid 2007 TU24 Observations?

I am surprised not to find any reports here of observations of TU24 as it zipped by Earth. Sue and I observed it Monday night around 9:00 PM in her Traveler. Did anyone else get out and see it? Perhaps it simply didn't catch observer's interest, but I enjoyed seeing it moving against the starry background.

I did see some photos and a couple of reports elsewhere.

Clear skies, Alan

I messed the timing up thinking it was tuesday. Really dumb to as I was out Monday nite. But I had a hell of a time observing a bunch of other stuff. I didn't even notice it was 8 deg when I went back in. sad
