    I was not intending such an extended obs, but clouds
    prevented earlier cessation.  it appeared more variable
    in vM tonight, fewer brights, and the fainter were
    more faint than two nights ago.  slow retrograde orbit,
    we are in for the long haul unless it dims_out on us.
    "spin up" (if that is an appropriate term) continues at
    ~ 0.011 sec/day.
