Hi MP Hunters,
The NEO 2022 ES3 is predicted to reach maximum brightness of 16.6 magnitude at midnight on March 14 in Japan. It will be 439,000 km from earth moving at 400"/min. through Ursa Major.
With the nearly full moon interfering, a large scope will be needed to observe this fast-moving object.
Good luck,
Phil S.
