Based on Alan Pickup's predicted decay time of Feb 1, 15:23 +/- 10 hours (Tuesday morning USA time) and SatEvo elements for the decaying COMETS H-2 Rk (25176, 98-11B): http://www.wingar.demon.co.uk/satevo/dkwatch/ it is making a very high, mostly in-shadow pass over Texas just about three hours before that, and another fully in-shadow pass one orbit earlier. East of us the pass should be even better -- more out of the shadow and better phase angle. Chances of seeing the decay are small of course, but I hope that at least our weather will cooperate! It's making a good pass Monday morning -- about ten hours from now, but the chances of favorable weather here aren't very good.
