Managed to see that one and Lacrosse 3 itself in spite of being sick and
some cirro-cumulus clouds. The clouds weren't much of an issue for the
Titan's pass, but 40 minutes later for Lacrosse 3 they were broken but
apparently in the way. However, they were moving rapidly to the north,
and it turned out that the satellite was traveling at just a little bit
faster apparent speed and managed to stay in breaks between the clouds for
most of the pass! It was probably between +1.5 and +2.
