    Overcast was predicted and apparent before sunset so I didn't prepare for
    the eve, however I noticed a clear patch of sky and hurried out to photograph 
    25947 near the Raleigh springs site.  Bright 1.0, steady, fast and Running early.
    Didn't get an accurate time, did check my watch and saw 00:39:?? minutes, after it had
    passed the targeted RA and DEC (listed above) where it was predicted at 00:40:10, I
    guesstimate it running approx. 30 secs early +- 15 secs, using:
    Globlstar 31 r   6.0  3.0  0.0  4.5 d   19       260 x 166 km
