This is a short event, with average odds of a "hit". But, the predicted shadow goes across our favorted campsite at Carrizo Plain. It's worth a try. The target is in Libra, lasts a short 0.7s so that integration will have to be limited. With dark of the moon, in dark Carrizo Plain, we should be OK to get good enough signal.
