Jonathan,

> Quoting from my predictions for 2016:  2010 V1 was discovered in outburst, and its magnitude at this return is uncertain.
Yes, I know that but other sources are not so sensible. There are quite 
a few sites, including Heavens Above, that were still predicting mag 10 
this morning when I looked!

> It seemed unlikely that it would be as bright as at discovery.  However, it may fragment again, so do keep on observing!
That will be challenging given how faint they are but they wilol be a 
good target to follow using large remote scopes.

Nick.
