         Incidentely I've been trying to see TiPS, without success.  I've
         located dim NOSS passes no problem but TiPS consistenly evades me.
    
    Watch out for the elsets - they may not be up to date.  When they are I've had
    problems only trying to see it with binocs; don't know if it was just not in
    the predicted position or if it was too dim.  However  I have caught it several
    times in a 12.5"scope.  That's unnecessarily large but if you do have a scope
    with a 1 deg fov or so, try to catch it 30 or 40 deg above the horizon - it
    moves much too fast at the zenith although I have ambushed it there and caught
    it zipping through.  It is quite a sight.
