1.7 hours of footage. Recorded just hours after its close approach to earth with an 8" LX200 classic and MCHP at f/3 (14 second exposures). This asteroid can be likened in size to the starship Enterprise, possibly as small as Kirk's Enterprise, possibly as large as Picard's Enterprise-E. A few power lines and satellites pass through the field of view during the video.

My telescope has been down for repairs involving a replacement motherboard and power panel. The repairs are now complete and the telescope is as good as new. I performed a bit of solar observing today to verify the new motherboard and power panel functionality.
NEVER stare at the sun or point a telescope at the sun unless you are using a proper, safe aperture solar filter. I use a Thousand Oaks Type 2+ Solar Filter.

Hopefully this clears up some of the confusion surrounding these images.
Hat tip to Nataylor for the inspiration to present it from the perspective of ISON back at earth.
