Hello!

   Using the elsets given here, I saw Titan last night at 21:36 UTC. The 
speed and the magnitude were very impressive: it ran through a good part 
of the sky in 1 minute (its range was only 251 km) and its magnitude 
could be -1 and perhaps -2. Its trajectory was about from the polar star 
to Vega and a little further than Vega, it disappeared in the earth's 
shadow.
