[neo_followup] A10whno = mag 11.5 rock : light curve?

[Bill Gray]

Hello all,

    Just thought I'd note that this is about as bright as they
get.  Seems like a good light-curve opportunity.  The ephemeris
uncertainty should be small,  a few arcminutes or so.  (Be
warned that MPC appears to be off by over a degree,  due to
the absence of earth/moon perturbations.)

    It was brought to my attention by Peter Birtwhistle,  who
was unable to find it... because it went through the earth's
shadow for a bit.  I wish we'd realized that before it
reached the shadow;  Peter has observed such events before...

    ...and gotten interesting results.  I'd have liked to see
the light curve from this bright object as it went through
the shadow,  and to have compared observed photometry to
computed magnitudes from Find_Orb.
