Sun angle around -3 to -5, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus and Sirius and a few others quite visible. Mir again
gave a good -2.5 flash on ascension in the west at around elev. 35 just to the right of Venus. A second
flash was apparent approx. 15 secs later as it ascended and passed just below Jupiter and Saturn. Magnitude
varied from 1.0 on ascension to -1.0 near zenith and on descent through lower Orion. Visible approx. 90 secs
from 00:27:30 to 00:29:00. Observed transit consistent with latest elements from OIG. Our last evening
observation of this object. Hopeful of getting a glimpse or two next week in the a.m..
