nope, missed it, I think there will most likely be some good photo images online soon though.

There was some good vid, even a small moon was attached to it. The second vid might interest you and 1Dave.

Cool vids, spiritstone, and thanks for sharing! Fascinating that it has a moon! Found this pic of the asteroid with it's small moon on JPL's website: "Asteroid 2004 BL86 (with moon tagging along) safely flew past Earth on Jan. 26, 2015" Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

And interesting that it is rotating in a different plane than its moon!
