Asteroid Occulatation Tracking
On the evening of September 11th and the morning of September 12th asteroid Palasana will be occulting a 7th magnitude double star just north of the Andromeda galaxy. The path of the occultation will cross parts of Africa, Europe, Canada, much of the US, and Mexico. In the US the states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico will all be in the path.

I have never searched for an asteroid, but this may be one asteroid looking for, as it will be visible in Illinois skies.
