Confirmed, thanks Don!  Matches the track and time almost perfectly.  
The only difference is our flash timings.  As it turns out, I'll have 
good viewing opportunities on this sat for at least the next two 
nights.  It's fairly interesting visually, and recommended.  I should 
have been more specific about the general direction it was going, 
though.  Sorry, Alphonse.
Thanks again to all.
