On Feb 15, 2013 the Asteroid '2012 DA14' was passing the earth. We went out to Inland Sea and set up our cameras, actually, we didn't find the Asteroid but met awesome people and shot this wonderful pic of Qatar sky that night.

2012 DA14 is not visible to the naked eye, not even with a small telescope.

proffessional optic telescopes from australia to eastern europe were able to see it as a faint white point. the us had to wait 8h after it's closest approach to see it through radar telescopes in the mohave desert.
