Thanks Cees.. 

Before I received this I loaded your entire (previous) set.. Along with Marco's elset, It still points me to the same spot in the
sky, Deneb Kaitos at 22 deg elev, 222 azimuth.. 

Other than any updates at the last minute - Go Greg Go! - I only have one question.. Magnitude.. At 129 degree phase angle, is this
likely to be naked eye.. i.e. should I employ my eagle eyed Wifey to watch for "Oh! There it is!".. ??

Derek

PS.. The space track elset makes my chance for success much much slimmer.. GO GREG GO!!

Great!

Larger field-of-view will help, but I think you were pretty adapt at
searching around using the live video. We may get more information in
the next hour if the webcast shows more ground tracks.

For now, use these elsets, and scan a line perpendicular to the
direction of motion well ahead of time, as the webcast suggested it
was early.
