OTV-6 passed on time when I observed it less than 10 minutes ago in deep
twilight during a rooftop-level pass. Saw it in 10x50 binoculars and do have it
on photograph, but with very little reference stars as the sun was barely 6
degrees under the horizon. But it passed below Spica within seconds of the
prediction.
