Howdy all,

I need someone from "down under" to try Superbird around midnight local time. 
No promises, but it may be flashing for you somewhere in the 14:40 UTC
timeframe each morning, give or take 20 minutes.  Use HANDE or SGP to get
20040's position (if using SkyMap).  If you don't see anything and can extend
your search window, that would be helpful (particularly if you eventually pick
it up!)  Elements are below:

Superbird A      2.4  2.6  2.2  6.2 d
1 20040U 89041A   97040.91200582 -.00000299  00000-0  10000-3 0  9079
2 20040   4.9867  60.7539 0004998  85.8225 274.3953  0.99749554 27545

Thanks and good luck!  --Rob
