    Hi Everyone
    Hot off the press a light curve for tonight's pass of L5. The pass featured
    a brief brightening followed immediately by a fade event.

    Last night a similar pass was uneventful except I thought the satellite
    seemed to enter the eclipse rather early so maybe I was actually seeing a
    disappearance. There is a light curve for that pass as well.
    
    I hope someone else saw tonight's pass!
    
    Cheers
    Phil
    
    PS there's a light curve for an earlier pass of L3 which showed a sudden 0.5
    magnitude fade. So L3 can do it as well.
