Geocentric closest approach at 2018/05/13 10:03:49 UTC

J2000 position of star is 19:13:38.8 -24:13:37
Equinox of date position of star is 19:14:44.1 -24:11:43
Stellar brightness R=15.3, use SENSEUP=128
Star is 98 degrees from the moon. Moon is 6% illuminated.
TNO apparent brightness V=23.4

[RECON map]
TNO is 40.2 AU from the Sun and 39.6 AU from the Earth.
The TNO is moving 12.0 km/sec on the sky relative to the star, or, 1.5 arcsec/hr.
The 1-sigma error in the time of the event is 565 seconds.
The 1-sigma cross-track error in the shadow position is 3979 km.
The sky-plane scale is 28711.5 km/arcsec.

The TNO has an absolute magnitude Hv=7.3
Diameter=208.9 km assuming a 5% albedo -- 17.4 sec chord
Diameter=85.3 km assuming a 30% albedo -- 7.1 sec chord
Dynamical classification is CLASSICAL
