There's been some talk of deliberately doing this for ease of mining. It would have to be extraordinarily large to be any more than a point of light, though. A few years back, an Asteroid passed very close to earth, and you could see it from the ground. I went out and watched it, it was basically just an orange point. It was visibly moving across the sky, though. If you want to know what it would be like, I would say look to Mars, because Mars has two small asteroid-like moons. They don't seem to be much to look at, though.
