    USA 193 passed Theta Ceti on time at 18:48:42 UTC, 19-FEB-08 as viewed from my 
    position. Despite its low 13 deg elevation it showed up better than mag 2. It 
    started to get weaker well before shadow egress at 18:49:24 an I could follow 
    it for a few seconds beyond that as a very weak object until 18:49:34.
    
    Congratulations to all you heroes who managed to track it so well - great job 
    on those TLEs!
