Don't know if a single data point will help anyone, but I spotted TiPS over Calgary, Alberta, this morning just about bang on time using the elset dated 96173.00694444. This point is very near to Mizar and Alcor in Ursa Major. J2000.0 RA 13h 23.7m Dec 54d 58m at 9hrs 07min 27.3sec GMT Lat/Long/Elev 51.03997N 114.07767W 3450ft elev Using 7x50 binocs I noticed no flashing, just two closely spaced objects in a line oriented exactly in their direction of motion. Objects looked 7th mag to me. Will use 11x80 binocs next time. Paul L. Sventek sventekp@cadvision.com paul@kelman.ab.ca
