Thanks for the heads-up. Looks best for me on July 28, 23:00-24:00 when up ~40° near mag 16.03. Then about the same 24 hours later. Then 24 hours later a bit higher (50°), same speed and a tiny bit fainter. Total proper motion is very slow due to the geometry of the pass. ~10"/min the entire pass.
Unfortunately, this good sized rock will be just out of reach in my 13" and at the edge of my 24 incher and smack in the Houston/Conroe sky glow when high.
Interestingly, 2016 CZ31 just b4 CU83 in the CNEOS list looked promising as it is also a large rock. Fainter, faster and too far south!
