Hi all, I observed IGS 1B last night at dusk, about 3 minutes earlier than predicted by various ephemerides. It culminated 3m09s earlier than predicted by Calsky, and 4° lower than predicted. It passed close to culmination between Beta and Eta Pegasi at 20h55m50s UTC, then near the end of the pass: 2° above Alpha Persei at 20h57m00s. It was very bright (mag 0 or 1) and constant in brightness. Despite rather poor skies I took a series of short duration photos showing nicely its pass near and below Cassiopeia.
