    Regarding Starshine, I must have been blind if it came down here.  The sky
    was very nice to watch, and I saw nothing.  (I had been tracking it all
    evening).
    
    I attempted to email Scott regarding his observe, the mail bounced back.
    
    Anybody else (Tom, did you make it out?) report a non observe?
    
    Thanks,
