Saw a good sunlit evening pass of 26606 GPS 47 Delta r, not long before its decay as predicted by Alan & Harro. The fastest sat I've seen! Near its predicted mag of 1.8. At 2/7 it passed under Saturn at 18:26:19 PDT +- 2 s, that's 2/8 02:26:19 UTC. It was 9 +- 2 s early on this elset from Alan: GPS 47 Delta r 7.0 2.0 0.0 5.5 d 15 275 x 148 km 1 26606U 00071B 01039.02012915 .08154298 19854-1 72553-3 0 91778 2 26606 37.5287 294.7997 0096988 173.3413 186.7882 16.22986712 13449 For your observations, of course use the latest elset from Alan. If anyone is interested I can send them a config file for Rob's skymap. I also enjoyed a zenith pass of ISS, color similar to Saturn, steady brightness.
