Hi Phil
I went outside and grabbed 2022 NR tonight (Sat 9th July 2022 in Brisbane) at around mag 16.3 I think. It was moving more slowly tonight than its close approach speed tomorrow, so it was an easier target. It races through the FOV when I plot it for nearer to the closest approach time, on Sunday 10th July for me in Brisbane.
This is a composite of 5 x 60 sec exposures at approx. 2150 mm FL tracked on the NEO. I manually stacked them in Photoshop.
Details are provided on the annotated image.
Cheers
Dennis
