Geocentric closest approach at 2018/08/23 06:56:07 UTC

J2000 position of star is 17:29:24.6 -16:30:17
Equinox of date position of star is 17:30:28.5 -16:31:06
Stellar brightness G=16.4, use SENSEUP=128
Star is 33 degrees from the moon. Moon is 91% illuminated.
TNO apparent brightness V=23.9

[RECON map]
TNO is 29.6 AU from the Sun and 29.2 AU from the Earth.
The TNO is moving 6.1 km/sec on the sky relative to the star, or, 1.0 arcsec/hr.
The 1-sigma error in the time of the event is 1262 seconds.
The 1-sigma cross-track error in the shadow position is 2566 km.
The sky-plane scale is 21174.6 km/arcsec.

The TNO has an absolute magnitude Hv=9.0
Diameter=95.5 km assuming a 5% albedo -- 15.8 sec chord
Diameter=39.0 km assuming a 30% albedo -- 6.4 sec chord
Dynamical classification is CENTAURR
