The fast mover 2021 RG19 is predicted to reach ~16 mag on the nights of Sep 27 & 28 2021. It's moving ~2'/min.
Here's a screenshot of the path using elements from 2021 Sep 24: [attachment=2018]
I'm currently getting updated elements from MPC & will post a path using elements for today's epoch & a file of elements from HORIZONS at 4 hr intervals.
Hope someone can get a look at it,

The file of osculating elements calculated by HORIZONS at 4 hr intervals is posted below.
The HORIZONS page for calculating the elements is here:
Horizons System (nasa.gov)
I hope the link works.
