The click attempting to catch the apparent transit actually was at 2:58:53.90, plus or minus. Sunday evening the UFO 8 Centaur (98-016B, 25259) made an impressive bright, very low and fast pass -- enough to distract me from ISS for maybe about 30 seconds. Just about every time I've tried, I've been able to see DART (05-014A, 28642) pretty easily. It seems to be orange. On the other hand, Lacrosse 5 (05-016A, 28646) does not seem yellow-orange like the other Lacrosses. This is using my 8x42 binoculars. Hai Yang 1 (02-024A, 27430) had a much more favorable pass and was much brighter, but blow-off cirrus cloud from far-away thunderstorms interfered. For what they might be worth, I got these clicks (with only the first three not through cloud): .80, 7.56, 7.46, 4.92, 4.22, 5.33, 2.26, 7.45, 8.61 -- the last one at about 4:28:18 on 23 May 2005.
