This is specifically to ask for a little help, if it's
convenient, from folks in Texas and Oklahoma, for
tonight at about 9:00 PM Central time, plus or minus
about five minutes or so. The unknown that was seen
six nights ago and again three nights ago should show
up again tonight. Now it looks like there may be bad
clouds coming rapidly this was from the east. I'm
tempted to drive somewhere but am not sure I could
get far enough soon enough to make much difference.
Three nights ago as seen from here it skimmed northern
Scutum, crossed southwest Aquarius, southern Delphinus,
the middle of Equuleus and then into Pegasus. Thus,
it went north of lambda Aquarii, south of beta Aqr,
very near delta and gamma Equulei, north of epsilon
Pegasi (Enif) and south of alpha Pegasi.
Its Quicksat intrinsic magnitude is estimated to be
maybe as bright as +3.0, which is roughly a standard
magnitude of +4.5.
We may all get clouded out by remnants of westward-bound
remnants of tropical depression 10, but any positional
help will be greatly appreciated!
Three evenings from tonight it should be seven to eight
minutes earlier, more or less, but otherwise on a fairly
similar track, I think.
