at this time, this satellite is below my western horizon and rising... i'm on 
the US Eastern seaboard above lat 35 and west of -79 long...

according to Stellarium, this object has the stats in the below linked image on 
my dropbox... i'm hoping to see it, in Stellarium, reach the top and start back 
down... the range speed is dropping in this photo and it is already less then 
0.5 km/s...
