I've been trying for this object for many months. It is reasonably positioned only every 9 days or so after 4 orbits and those days are usually cloudy. It had not been observed by our group for 517 days but there are more recent obs (2015 November) on the MPC's DASO site: http://www.minorplanetcenter.net/iau/DASO/Obs/ArtSatsObs.txt Their ephemeris generator put it about 12 minutes ahead of the position predicted by Mike's inttles so it was easy to find. Initial sharp flashes soon faded.
