    This Delta 2 R/B  from the Worldview 1 launch (but subsequently placed in a 
    112.3 degree orbit) is close to decay.
    
    We have a daylight pass currently predicted at 0312 UTC on Sunday, and 
    looking at Space-Track predictions and the following it is not inconceivable 
    that this could be  the decay orbit:

    (We have also have a daylight pass very soon after I am writing this but it 
    appears most unlikely that decay will occur this early.)
    
    It appears that observers in Australia  may also find it useful to keep an 
    eye on this object and monitor pass and decay predictions.
