I caught asteroid (623) Chimaera using the internet accessible 0.61 m (24-inch) Sierra Stars Observatory telescope located in Alpine County California.
(623) Chimaera is near the center of the image moving toward the upper left.
This animation was made from three 60 second images taken on January 26, 2011 at 06:16, 07:03, and 07:15 UT. The asteroid’s motion does not appear to be uniform because the images were not taken at equally spaced intervals. The field of view for this image is approximately 20 arc minutes square, or a little bit less than the diameter of the full moon (the moon is approximately 30 arc minutes in diameter).
At the time these images were taken, (623) Chimaera was at magnitude 13.9 and was approximately 2.057 astronomical units or 307,722,818 km from Earth.
