I attempted observation on the pass of 40745 you referred to while I was in
Central Wellington, New Zealand. I did not have binoculars with me and the
sky was only just getting dark and the bright half moon and a little light
pollution did not help. Rather surprisingly considering the closeness to
decay, I didn't manage to see anything of the object
