Despite a hazy full moon-lit sky, I just saw OTV2-1 (37375 = 11-010A) as it passed above Antares at about magnitude 4.8 (but varying slightly and rapidly). While not at all a very precise timing, it was some 5 seconds early (relative to predicions using the TLE with epoch 11078.45516260). This observation was 2011 March 20 09:54:53 UTC (+/- 1-2 seconds). Clear and dark skies!
