Thanks for the reminder.
The best it gets during this apparition for my location is tonight between 11 & 12 PM ~mag 13.5 but only 26° up due south - Houston/Conroe light pollution. Last night was marginally better (3° higher). With it heading nearly straight for the south pole so never being well placed!! Looks to be running ~18"/sec on the afternoon of the 20th & 21st from SE Texas.
This rock jumped at me several weeks back due to its size. Looked at Horizons and the viewing specs for my location just did not excite. Sure wish the geometry were different.
Phil, toss me a note if you snag any more bright rocks. Thanks again.
