Hello: Just a few clouds here in Halifax. Saw Phobos-Grunt pass at about 2143 UT it first appeared just a tad below Eta Ursa Majoris and appeared to be about 2.5 magnitude, then faded until it passes between Zeta Ursa Majoris at about 2144 UT at about 2.5 mag still. Managed a photo of that pass with my telephoto at a 15 sec exposure and 400 ISO. It brigtenen a bit as it went NE to about 2nd magnitude. Comparing the path map on H-A for my location it was off by maybe a 1/4 degree or so.
