Last evening I had a non-obs of 21025 at 02:23 UTC but it would have been only 10 deg above that horizon in the SE. -------------------------- TiPS At Carrs Mill Park (39.3183N, 77.0538W, 100m ASL) I observed TiPS as it passed near delta-Ursa Major at 04:00:40 UTC, 2 July. I tracked it for about 2 minutes and saw the fluctuating brightness between Ralph, Norton and the tether (which was visible most of the pass). The NRL elset TiPS 2.5 0.0 0.0 6.3 d 1 00006U 00000C 00179.41666667 0.00001081 00000 0 12235-2 0 00000 2 00006 63.4250 237.8912 0137007 359.9854 85.7694 13.66254105162600 is accurate enough for a scope observation.
