Last night, after an unsuccessful attempt a few days ago,
I observed 92-83A #22251 KH 11-9 again. It passed just below
theta Cephei at 22:44:00.9 UT, which is surprisingly close
to predictions from the following elset :

USA 86          15.0  3.0  0.0  4.6
1 22251U 92083  A 95125.02921860  .00024812  00000-0  20953-3 0    06
2 22251  97.9192 238.4303 0518906 148.3787 214.8450 14.83119551    14

With SGP (ndot2) it was 3 seconds after prediction,
with SGP4 (BStar) 5 seconds late.

It was at 58 degrees elevation E when I discovered it (naked eye)
but there was no flash until it had passed above Cassiopeia, then
another one above Perseus. On earlier passes, the best flashes have
been in Cygnus.
