Finally figured out the field for the images on 2021 Aug 15 @0300 from T16. There is no object at the calculated position of 2010 CA261. Stars to mag ~15.5 are recorded in the image. Either the position is wrong or the mag estimate is way off. Hard to believe a 1-3 KM object keeps coming this close to earth (0.03 AU) every year & it doesn't make the news.

Sorry for the false alarm, but I did learn a lot from the exercise.
