Stuart,
The asteroid being at mag 24.3 makes it a fairly faint object, with the moon
heading to Fullmoon on the 24th that maybe causing a few problem for
ground based instruments trying to track it, not sure where the info came
from on that one. Yes as you can see it isn't sitting behind the moon.
Near Earth Orbiting Objects came in many varried orbit's. Most are not
discovered until they have gone past us, which is a bit of a worry. But
if the circumstances were right, I see no reason why one couldn't be hidden
for a time behind the moon, but for 2 weeks I'm not too sure about that.
just my thoughts, but I could be wrong.
regards,CS
