Ephimerides for Toutatis...

Would anyone happen to have any ephemeris for asteroid Toutatis? A friend of mine is looking to either enter the data into Starry Night Pro or The Sky and then use either software to control his G-11 w/ Gemini Go-To. I printed off a bunch of data (minute by minute info) for him from SkyTools 2 and he was unsuccessful in viewing it via CCD images (MX7C coupled to a 12" LX200 OTA w/ focal reducer). If I remember correctly, Toutatis should be about mag 11 by now so it most certainly would have shown up in the 2 and 3 minute images my friend was taking.
Any thoughts or links to additional information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
