However, good locations for observing the last passes would be, for the northern hemisphere
(evening observation), between about latitude +25 N deg and +37 N deg, and for the
southern hemisphere (morning observations), between about latitude +53 S and 41
S deg, close to the ground track:

Anyone hearing of visual passes in the last 6 hours or so?  (There haven't been many opportunities).

Trying to track down at least one observation to re-peg the TLE files.
