Hi Eric, I observed LACE on the last 2 evenings: 22:32 EDT 12 July (02:32 UT 13 July) passing R->L over alpha-Oph 21:52 EDT 13 July (01:52 UT 14 July) passing R->L under alpha-Oph During both passes it was about a +4.0 mag. LACE has been on my "high interest" list for a while now. At times it will pass W->E in the Northern sky, which is unusual at my lattitude, and it a relatively bright fast mover. Cheers.
