    http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/satcom_transits/193anim.gif  shows a few 
    frames demonstrating how the brightness varied over a period of 20 seconds 
    approaching Arcturus.
    
    Final frame is approx 1.8 - 2.0 mag , as predicted.
    
    Hopefully Marco will have captured a timed exposure of the pass
