    Just saw Lacrosse 2 as predicted by Heavens-Above.  First sighting was
    between Cassiopea and Andromeda.  Magnitude at first was much better than
    predicted 2.8 (I wouldn’t venture to guess a number but safe to say it was a
    negative value) and faded immediately.  By the time it passed Saturn and
    Jupiter it was barely visible under present conditions.  Just about 10
    minutes after I saw Iridium 3 flare as predicted.  Already a good night for
    me and have several possibilities yet to come
    
    ...and I even remembered not to request delivery/read receipt BEFORE I sent
    this.
    
    Regards,
