Close Approach of 2005 LW3
#3
Yes, this NEO and 2022 RM4 were the 2 rocks that you mentioned back in September or October. 2022 RM4 was discovered on 2022 September 12. 

Using MPC's elements for 2022 Nov 15 00:00 UT, ST4v predicts that 2005 LW3 will be 15.1 magnitude as it passes M 73 moving at 124"/min. This NEO is rated 'Apparent' in my 13" from your observing location at that time FWIW. It gets a 'Difficult' rating from my location in Ohio.

Good luck if you try to spot it,

Phil S.
