Fast Flyby Jan 25 - 2023 BL1
#1
A Pan-STARR 2 discovery with 61 observations over 6 days will make a close pass on Jan 25, 19:36UT at a distance of 0.599182LD (0.001540AU). The magnitude is estimated to be 14.2 with motion ~13'/min with excellent phase angle.. However, from my location in SE Texas, it may be too faint when high in the early morning hours of the 25th. You southern boys may have a look.

I forgot about that one in the excitment about 2023 BU. Using MPC's elements for 2023 Jan 24 0000 UT here is the Object Info page:     

George & Dennis may have a shot if their weather cooperates.
