Note these coords are not my regular obs site (local astromomy club
observing site)
Mag <4 brightening just before shadow entry to around 2...

elset almost spot on for pos and time....

Also saw terrific pass from NOSS 2-2 trio mag 2-3 with the two leading sats
passing either side of Sirius (good guide star !). I think I finally managed
to impress some of the hard bitten deep sky observers :-)
