Last night 4/18 PDT between clouds I saw 23502 Cosmos 2306 r, on time
according to the elset in mccants.tle. Close to mag 1.5, brighter than
the predicted mag 3.3.

That just reminds me that it's always worth looking at rocket bodies in
case they have a good orientation on this pass and shine a few mag
brighter than predicted from the average orientation!

Best, Mark
