Slooh.com also will try to track the asteroid with its telescope in the Canary islands, starting at 4 p.m. ET, for a program that will be broadcast via Slooh's website and iPad app. However, Slooh's Patrick Paolucci said "there is a high probability we will not capture the asteroid during the broadcast," due to uncertainties about the asteroid's position.

That happened with the last one too. It'll pass safely by - uh, but we can't spot it because we don't know precisely where it is.
