As (I think) I reported before, my new mail provider does not give me
a choice of text-only messages, and my OE client refuses to send
anything, but receives OK.
Here is what I sent at 17:25 UTC:
I
stitched the three images (using just one or two stars).
In the third
image ("12:45:40 UTC") it meets 81-43 B which passed HP112031 at
12:45:51
UTC

I
had unexpected clear weather this afternoon, and a 76 deg ESE pass, but
saw nothing
(alternating between 10x50 and 1x5 power) within +-2 min,
just UARS later.
Yesterday it cleared late evening, and I
discovered/checked the new USA 224 elset just 15 min before the best
pass, 14 deg N. But I found no spot to observe without (sparse) trees,
so I concentrated on a later part at 10 deg, but saw nothing within +- 4
min
