    I get Superbird A flashes near RA 3:02, N of eta Eridani, for mid-northern
    latitudes.
    Subtract about 4 min of RA per day (and run your prediction program) (or ask
    me)
    
    For Texas, Superbird A passes there at 03:11 UTC on Oct.17
    
    Intelsat 512 flashes appear to be too close to the Sun for Northern
    observers now. (Unless there are more surfaces than I detected so far)
    
    For latitude -30, I have I512 flashing at RA 08:29, dec. +10, and 17:45 +3
    (larger change/day!)
