Hi Tips is normally an easy object for video tracking, but when I last tried to observe it - 31 August 2006 - I did not see it and at the time put it down to a poor pass- in addition I got mislead by another satellite at about the same time and direction. Since it now looks like TIPS may be missing I will check the DVD recording tomorrow to make sure I did not see it. If its not there then it may indicate that TIPS did its disappearing trick before 31 August. Unfortunately TIPS was not favourably placed when I tracked on the 11th September so was not able to try it nor will it be visible tomorrow night when next I plan to track so it looks like visibility is over for me for the moment.
