Tonight's pass at my location was just to the left of the moon at 00:16:20 UTC 28 March, just right of Saturn at 00:16:50 and to the right of Jupiter a few second later. From there it went pass directly overhead and entered eclipse over beta-Leo at 00:17:47. The trouble was there was too much twilight. I noticed a bright flash as it passed directly overhead and tracked it as it entered eclipse. It was bookin' but it was not a 1x object at that time - maybe in the 3.5-4.0 mag range. Tomorrow's pass is in the same part of the sky - due west - at 00:33 UTC but it enters eclipse at 00:34:23 just before it it overhead.
