Geocentric closest approach at 2020/06/30 09:35:57 UTC

J2000 position of star is 17:52:08.7 -15:42:16
Equinox of date position of star is 17:53:12.5 -15:42:28
Stellar brightness G=17.0, use SENSEUP=128
Star is 52 degrees from the moon. Moon is 73% illuminated.
TNO apparent brightness V=23.7

[RECON map]
TNO is 30.0 AU from the Sun and 29.0 AU from the Earth.
The TNO is moving 23.5 km/sec on the sky relative to the star, or, 4.0 arcsec/hr.
The 1-sigma error in the time of the event is 646 seconds.
The 1-sigma cross-track error in the shadow position is 3102 km.
The sky-plane scale is 21036.5 km/arcsec.

The TNO has an absolute magnitude Hv=9.0
Diameter=95.5 km assuming a 5% albedo -- 4.1 sec chord
Diameter=39.0 km assuming a 30% albedo -- 1.7 sec chord
Dynamical classification is CENTAURR
