Thanks for the great advice, Dennis.

I am currently writing up some personal notes to practice on 3 Juno and 4 Vesta (at magnitudes 5-7); and then 230 Athamantis, 23 Thalia and 115 Thyra (at magnitudes 10-11). That will give me a sense of whether I will be able to capture 3I/ATLAS at around magnitude 14 and moving at around 3 times as fast in August.
