Hi MP Hunters,
Here's a second MP that's predicted to have a close approach on the morning of Apr 7. It's not quite as bright as 2022 GN1, only predicted to reach 16.6 magnitude which is beyond my 13" scope. Here's the predicted path: [attachment=2315]
It will be moving fast at ~287"/min.
This one is also in Ursa Major. Almost the same place as 2022 GN1 at peak brightness but moving in a different direction.
Again, good hunting,
Phil S.
