Using the elsets above, #25938 was about 60 seconds early and #25937
was 75 seconds early AND about 0.2 degrees lower than predicted.  
DirecTV was around magnitude 10.5 and the Block DM 8.5 and steady
in magnitude.  Range about 7540 km with a Skymap phase angle of 130.

Looked for the new GPS but it was not seen so it was either off track,
several minutes off or fainter than about magnitude 12.5
