Starting just after 918 UT on 9 June 2015 as it passed by
Epsilon Hercules.  It was within a few seconds (on time)
of the Heavensat prediction that used the following elset

1 40661U 15025L   15159.59005712  .03473181  00000-0  83705-1 0   273
2 40661  55.0067 258.0312 0232820 229.0835 134.4435 15.17229817  2873

Magnitude was about the same as the star.  Just after entering
Draco, it faded to invisibility with my 7x50 binoculars for a few
seconds.  Then it came back but much fainter as it headed northeast.
