The NEO 2022 MP is predicted to make a close approach on June 27 at 03:32 UT. ST4v predicts that this MP will reach peak brightness of 16.7 magnitude on June 27 at 0000 EDT when it will be in Libra moving at 24.6"/min. This object will require a large telescope or imaging system to capture it. It's too faint for my 13" scope.
Here's an Interactive Atlas chart showing the predicted path for 2022 MP from June 25-27: [attachment=2407]
This object will be visible from the southern hemisphere, weather permitting.
Just like 2022 MQ, CNEOS has given this pass a 'Rarity' of 1. Two in a row.
