In the normal course of events using the latest elset we would have had a pass at around 0643 Friday local (1743 on 21st UTC) - close to sunrise - and an overhead daylight pass at around 1430 local (0130 UTC.) There also would have been an overhead pass on Saturday morning our time. So if there is any possibility of remaining fragments (and I would be interested in any further discussion on that point) it may pay to be on the alert in this country, though owing to the likely brightness of the sky observation may not be possible unless something actually comes down here.
