    Hi everybody
    
    Back to observations, but having lost my reflexes....
    28888 was seen passing swiftly slightly north of mu and lambda UMa at 21h 
    29m 07s, so apparently still corresponding to 07159.07500452  elements.
    I have no more precise timing or position (I pressed my stopwatch a bit 
    late, and here it is still late twilight).
