I observed two objects on a W 29 deg. pass at 05:30 UT this morning Jan.28 The first object was steady +4, at 5:30:39.9 near a 6.3 star (11:11, +14.5), but I didn't move my binoculars, not knowing exactly the predicted sequence. Only four seconds later I saw a -1 flash, but waited at the same position for two minutes for more objects - none seen. Though the elsets did seem stable, except OCS (Using OIG latest five at 06:30 UT), two hours later only the Minotaur remains stable enough, and OCS is very little changed! Only the Minotaur fits my observation. The smallest separation, 8 s, is now OPAL/OCS, but the order does not fit my obs.
