Geocentric closest approach at 2018/07/14 09:29:11 UTC

J2000 position of star is 19:09:00.5 -24:24:44
Equinox of date position of star is 19:10:07.8 -24:22:54
Stellar brightness G=15.2, use SENSEUP=128
Star is 156 degrees from the moon. Moon is 3% illuminated.
TNO apparent brightness V=23.3

[RECON map]
TNO is 40.2 AU from the Sun and 39.2 AU from the Earth.
The TNO is moving 24.2 km/sec on the sky relative to the star, or, 3.1 arcsec/hr.
The 1-sigma error in the time of the event is 346 seconds.
The 1-sigma cross-track error in the shadow position is 2144 km.
The sky-plane scale is 28411.1 km/arcsec.

The TNO has an absolute magnitude Hv=7.3
Diameter=208.9 km assuming a 5% albedo -- 8.6 sec chord
Diameter=85.3 km assuming a 30% albedo -- 3.5 sec chord
Dynamical classification is CLASSICAL
