    Dear List,
    
    We just saw object 25054 = 97-070F = "Kupon debris" make an extremely
    fast pass (say, three degrees per second!). It was varying with an
    approximate one second period, reaching a maximum visual magnitude
    of approximately 5 - 5.5 as it passed bet Aqr (at 22:24.9 UTC).  For
    those at mid-northern latitudes, it's worth looking at (much like
    26692 several weeks ago).
    
    Now all we need is a Leonid storm!
    
    Clear and dark skies!
    
    Ed and Darlene Light
