Good catch. Thanks! The moon is near full but ~70° away. For me, best viewed when 70° up in the SSE ~9pm on 17th. Looks like a 2 hour window either way. I'll bet there will be another batch of observations over the next few weeks as this rock creeps up on us from below and outside our orbit. It tries to pass over the top but cannot catch up (fairly high e & i).
Did your hair get ruffled by 2022 CG yesterday? Only bright, close and fast in twilight but ripping by at 4.5'/min. Another one gets by b4 detection.
