Looks like you do get a transit. The satellite is not in sunlight and the Moon is 65.2% illuminated. Time is GMT. The magnitude would be for the satellite in sunlight. Separation is from center of the Moon in arc minutes. Denis Fco. Javier Iruretagoyena wrote: > Tonight at 23:22 UTC I have predicted a transit of the Lacrosse 5 by the > Lunar disk.
