Close Approach of 2024 CR9
#5
Thanks, Carlo,

You're ~4° north of my latitude, but that can make all the difference. 2024 CR9 will get higher above the horizon later in June. For example on the morning of June 16 it will be traveling through Capricornus at ~10"/minute at ~14.8 magnitude. Some of your association members might like to see this NEO moving in the field of view. It should be within a few degrees of (40) Harmonia which will be much brighter at 9.9 magnitude, but traveling at 14"/hour.

I'll add your location to my list of SkyTools Locations and watch for close approaches that are predicted to occur during the night for southern Europe. My longitude puts me in the Eastern Standard time zone (UTC-5), but we're currently UTC-4 during the summer.

What's the faintest NEO that you'd be interested in being alerted about?

Phil S.

Edit: I set your elevation to 10 meters. SkyTools lists both Florence and Pisa as 0 meters, but I figured you weren't right at sea level.
