Hi BMD,
Unfortunately not uncommon. I attached my DBPS for Oct 19 as a .stx file. I included 2019 XS despite it being >0.05 AU distant because it looks like a good one. (3361) Orpheus & (4660) Nereus look like two more good ones. At least they're big & hopefully bright.
I saw your PM. It looks like the elements from all 3 sources are in good agreement. If the weather cooperates, you should have a good chance of spotting 2019 XS.

Thanks for the list Phil. Even Vertigo doesn't have the light grasp to drag any of those out of even Bortle 1 skies. Gee, if only I were an imager. You sure do hunt down the list of faint ones :=)

It looks like I forgot to include the log entries when I saved the .stx file, so my notes on Max brightness & Re information wasn't included. I've wiped the MP DB & that log info is gone. I'm working on the NEAs for 2021 Oct 20 now, so I'll post the .stx file for today in a new thread.

I was just running a bunch of these and looked up to realize the Moon is being naughty again!
