I'm back in business following my trip to Orkney where, sadly, the
annular eclipse was clouded out. I have updated my Decay Watch page for
the two objects for which decay notices are being issued by SCC. Here is
a summary.

Note: I estimate that this will decay southbound over Brazil on the
last of the SatEvo-predicted revs above. Only a few minutes earlier
there is a pass over the E North America that takes it just E of
Montreal and Boston at 05:14 UTC.
