Geocentric closest approach at 2022/06/30 08:05:37 UTC

J2000 position of star is 19:37:10.7 -24:19:22
Equinox of date position of star is 19:38:31.1 -24:16:18
Stellar brightness G=15.8, use SENSEUP=128 with the MallinCam and and exposure time of 2 seconds with the QHY174 camera.
Star is 178 degrees from the moon. Moon is 1% 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 23.5 km/sec on the sky relative to the star, or, 3.0 arcsec/hr.
The 1-sigma error in the time of the event is 612 seconds.
The 1-sigma cross-track error in the shadow position is 4975 km.
The sky-plane scale is 28436.7 km/arcsec.

The TNO has an absolute magnitude Hv=7.3
Diameter=208.9 km assuming a 5% albedo -- 8.9 sec chord
Diameter=85.3 km assuming a 30% albedo -- 3.6 sec chord
Dynamical classification is CLASSICAL
