Using my 10x50s i tracked Grav Probe B r #28231 04014B despite some tall trees behind my place and at 05:43:34 +/- 3 sec 22 Apr UTC it passed just below a greenish glowing Venus. Then a little later on i was following Gravity ProbeB #28230 04014A waiting for it go below Capella to get a time when at 05:58:57 it flared at approx Az 300deg El 29 deg. I was watching it with my 10x50s and it got real bright with an orange tint to it but when i switched to 1x the flare was gone and i had to go back to my binocs to see it again.
