-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It's likely the sky was still too bright to catch USA 193 as it ascended out of the sunset glare from here in Texas. I was waiting for an appulse with Caph at 00:56:28 UTC, and had uncertainty of 2 degrees in the passing elevation and expected it to be up to two minutes early. Caph itself was just barely visible to the naked eye at that time. I'd hoped to get some warning by seeing USA 193 as it ascended, then move to the mounted binoculars for a closer look. I would probably have been better to keep looking through the binoculars instead. If the weather holds, I'll be able to try again tomorrow night.
