This newly discovered NEO is predicted to make a close approach on 2022 Jul 10 08:17 ±00:08 UT at a distance of 0.00257 AU, H=25.6, 'Rarity'=1.
ST4v predicts it will be moving through Hydra at 275.1"/min at 15.8 magnitude. This is another southern hemisphere object although it may be visible from the southwestern USA. Here is an Interactive Atlas chart showing the predicted path on the evening of Jul 10 as seen from Brisbane, Australia: [attachment=2431]
Unfortunately, the moon will be rather close to the NEO (~20° for USA, ~40° for AU).
Good hunting,
Phil S.
