    I started tracking Lacrosse 5 on the 1st pass below beta ursa minor. Much of
    pass was thru tree branches. I marked the time it hit the moon but could not
    see the transit and could not see it when it first reappeared. On its 2nd
    pass I started tracking at mu pegasus and followed into shadow.
    
    I never did resolve a point on #21808 but at 23.27.48.24 UTC it crossed
    paths with an unknown that was id as Cosmos 2112 r . They were a close 137
    km apart.
    
    First clear night in a long time. I had fun in spite of moon.
