I picked today's date, and an interval of an hour and adjusted for local timezone. I then used F12 in Stellarium to enter:
core.moveToRaDec("11h29m01.26s", "+19d41m24.1s");
which centered on Johnscalzi.

As Lord High Panjandrum of 52692 Johnscalzi, have you decided yet whether the subdivisions of a Scalzi Year are arbitrary Imperial units, like Earth, or more logical than that?

I have marked this auspicious date on my Calendar. AS SHOULD YOU ALL.

johnscalzi: 12.19
(not all diameters are in the db, so I took this number.)
Next conversation of writers at a con: "My asteroid shines brighter than yours."

Checking the catalogues:
The KMTNET-SAAO asteroid classification survey determined that 52692 Johnscalzi / 1998 FO8 is an S-class asteroid.
In other words, a pile of rocks.
And the Palomar Transient Factory finds that it spins about once every 13 hours.

Just need “The Ghost Brigades” and I’ll have the whole series! I’d also like “Old Man’s War” in hardcover but I’ve already got two copies in paperback so a third might be a bit much.
