    Last night's 57deg pass by Lacrosse 5 ( mag 3.2 .. HA ) at 2320 BST didn't 
    seem out of the ordinary...no flare or sudden disappearance.
    
    Using a 2X barlow lens I obtained a number of frames.
    The animation at
    
    http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/satcom_transits/L5anim4f.gif
    
    Shows a short sequence.
    These are raw frames , magnified by 50% with increased brightness and 
    contrast.Minimum range 844 km.
