This event is mainly through the spine of the Santa Cruz Mtns and into the Los Gatos, Saratoga area. It misses Santa Cruz. It's good for Karl, who's in the path. 92% moon is 45 deg away. The event is good in that it's a full 2.0s long so integration can bring in the 13.0 star. The Alt=43, Az=165, so it's not far from the 1999VQ48 event 20 minutes earlier in terms of the position; just a few degrees higher and farther to the right.

I was set up for this event already, since the 1999VQ48 event was just before it. I set up on Rincon next to the apartment complex. Fog came in just before, and I got on target, but at ~8 minutes before the event, the clouds covered the target. No observations
