In response to Mike Bevan's report of not seeing Lacrosse 2:

http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/Sep-2000/0059.html

Lacrosse 2 was observed by another observer on 04 Sep, at 22:09 UTC, presumably
the approximate time of your attempt. It spent more time than usual in the
penumbra, so if you happened to observe between about 22:08:53 UTC and 22:09:21
UTC, it might have been much fainter than expected.

I am not aware of any sighting reports since then, nor am I aware of any other
no-show reports.

It should have been easy to see on 09 Sep, at your 21:28 UTC pass, and you were
looking well outside the penumbra.

I will take a look tonight.
