yes, orbital data are from JPL/HORIZONS.
This asteroid becomes so bright (approximately 10 mag) that it can be well
observed even with smaller instruments. Particularly at the night from 29./30.
January it is optimally visible in Central Europe, since it moves into the
constellation Ursa Maior with scarcely 2?° per hour.
