Seeing Vesta at Opposition (November 2019)
The Asteroid 4 Vesta is one of the iconic minor planets, and one of two orbited by the Dawn spacecraft. At favourable oppositions Vesta is bright enough to be seen with the unaided eye under dark sky conditions. Sadly this year it doesn’t get that bright, but it will be easily visible in binoculars (getting up to magnitude 6.5, just below unaided eye visibility at dark sky sites).

Sadly around opposition itself, the waxing Moon / full Moon will interfere significantly (although you should still be able to just see it in binoculars. However, there are several days before and after opposition where Vesta is bright and easily seen. 3-5 November may be best.
