Very easy to spot, even here in light-polluted Mountain View, California. I could even make Vesta out, barely, with 12x binoculars.

I've never seen an asteroid with my own eyes before. Can't wait for the Dawn space mission to show us what's there.

I encourage you to post other good sightings you come across.
