Hi Richard and List,

What is the maximum apparent visual magnitude of this object? Is
there any chance it could be glimpsed with a large amateur telescope?

And while we are at it, what about 3467 Bernheim which is named after
Robert Burnham Jr.?

Best regards and clear skies,

MikeG

PS - we had one of those wicked Tampa lightning storms a few nights
ago. It felt like "shock and awe" outside the house.
