    Beautifully clear evening here in Wiltshire.
    
    USA 129 flared to mag 0 (equal brightness with Vega) on a 89-degree pass.
    
    80mm refractor, 32mm Plossl eyepiece.

    Third point was an appluse of a mag 6.9 star; all points 0.1 to 0.4 seconds
    late on Mike's 05239.90239238 elset.  I think I pressed the stopwatch a
    little early on the last point (0.121s late).
    
    Best wishes
