    Note: Unlike Daniel Deaks observation I noted very little variation in magnitude 
    during a 45 second observation from the horizon to shadow entry at 50 elev. 
    I only observed it for about 20 secs on two occassions as I was looking more
    for a position report than magnitude. It was quite bright between 1.0 to 2.0 and  
    running about 2 secs early on:
