    I looked too low, or too late, for USA 193, and managed to miss it :-(
    After USA 186, an object appeared which looked like the 193 prediction. It
    turned out to be Lacrosse 5 :-)

    At the time of  the 13-16 deg NNE predictions for USA 161, the fog in the
    air made my limit magnitude unacceptable.
    Nevertheless I stayed the full 20 minutes planned, and the situation
    improved slightly, but I saw nothing 21:25 to 21:45 UTC.
    I had an early appointment, so I couldn't wait for the next orbit.
    The fog was not low, so it wouldn't have helped climbing a nearby hill.
    If the air doesn't get a lot dryer, the Moon will make it very difficult for
    the week ahead.
