In the databases I searched (Horizons and http://www.brera.mi.astro.it/sormano/sael.html), it has an H of 99.99 with Horizons listing its magnitude over the next 27 days as 93! No decimal point! If you edit the rock, what H does it show? I'm showing 16.6, not 100.
Is it a captured asteroid or an earth orbiting satellite? Unable to find much on it but when importing from the MPC, shows an H=16.5 vs Horizons H=99.99. I've done several searches for it and have come up empty.
In order to get the magnitude tonight and tomorrow morning to be 10.7, I have to change the H to 18.0
I was attempting to run an ephem for tonight and get this - an 8 hour run starting at 22:00 tonight. Should be up ~11 at 10PM but does not show the position. Yes, there is moonlight them but it 10.7 mag, well withing reach of the 13 incher. And I ran the ephem for the 24.
