CNEOS predicts that this large (0.66-1.5km) NEO will make a close approach on 2022 Sep 11 15:52±<00:01 UT at a distance of 0.07963 AU. H=18.0, 'Rarity'=1, Condition Code=0.
Currently my ST4v is in the shop so I'm unable to calculate an ephemeris for this object. The distance & H are similar to Didymos that I posted about several days ago, so the brightness may be similar as well.
Since this object is an NEO, anyone interested in calculating an ephemeris for this object only needs to download the MPC's data file 'NEAs at Today's Epoch' using SkyTools to get the most recent orbital elements. There are currently ~29k NEOs known. Processing is much faster than for the full MPCORB.
If this NEO does look like a bright one, I'd be interested in knowing where it's going.
Good hunting,
Phil S.
