It was observed as about 15 mag on May 4. New near-earth asteroid. It will be brighter than 16 mag until late July. Some reported it as 12 mag. Only southern people can observe it.
Northern people can never see it again.
Because it is far away, it keeps 14 mag until late 2000. It will be observable in good condition at the same magnitude until October. It was expected to be 13 mag, however, it is fainter than 14 mag actually. It will brighten rapidly in the morning low sky until mid August. It is not observable after perihelion passage.
