CNEOS predicts that this large NEO will make a close approach on 2022-Dec-02 10:07 ± < 00:01 UT at a distance of 0.03155AU. H=19.6 magnitude, V relative=28.84 km/sec, 'Rarity'=2 & Condition Code=0. This is a large object, 310 - 700 m, but it's only 18 magnitude according to ST4v while still being 0.2 AU distant.
Using MPC's orbital elements for the epoch 2022 November 17 00:00 UT, ST4v predicts that this NEO will reach a maximum brightness of 16.5 magnitude on November 30 traveling from Hydrus into Octans at ~38"/min. It will pass through the LMC on November 29 in daylight for Australian observers. This is a southern hemisphere object that ST4v predicts would not be visible in a 13" telescope. The moon will interfere. The iTelescope site in Chile might offer a good view.
Here's an Interactive Atlas chart showing the predicted path of this NEO from 2022 November 29-December 2 for Brisbane, Australia: [attachment=2582]
Good hunting,

Edit: Yes, the iTelescope Chile site is perfectly located to observe the transit(?) of 2009 HV58 across the LMC on the evening of 2022 Nov 28.
