Well, the skies are clear so I hauled the gear out (I set up and tear down each night) and after Polar Alignment, T-Point Runs, etc. I slewed to 2022 NR and OMG it was right there.

The MX+ can Track on the NEO and here is a 1600x1200 full res crop from the unprocessed 60 second exposure raw frame (0.725 arcsec/pixel) . The 'scope is outside still acquiring images as I write so I haven't had the time to annotate these uploads.
I am still learning about this mount and its capabilities and so far am very, very impressed.
Cheers

This is a composite image of single, unprocessed, full resolution crops showing the difference in the relative speed of NEO 2022 NR as it passed close to our planet Earth on 9th and 10th June 2022.
You can see by the length of the star trails the variation in its rate of motion within a 24 hour period, as the mount tracked on the NEO thus causing the stars to trail.
