    The toast is nearly ready, will be cooked within less than 24 hours.
    
    We have a daylight pass which is likely to be too early (and probably cloudy 
    anyway) and an early morning non-illuminated pass which is not long after 
    Calsky's predicted decay time, however it doesn't seem it will last long 
    enough for us to have much chance of seeing it, cloud could once again be a 
    factor even if decay did occur near here.
    
    So seems fairly unlikely we will catch any of the crumbs!
