I had my best (?) pass today at 87 degrees and magnitude 1.5 !
I timed it by a star right of beta Cass. at 20:34:39.0 UTC.
This is 3.7 seconds before your 218.84 evolution,
and 0.9 sec before the OIG 218.66 elset.
It is 13.7 seconds before the 218.47 elset! An evolution I made this
morning was 1.3 seconds later than the actual pass. That evolution
terminated about 07.80 .
OIG 218.66
