This is a long event at 3.2 sec and so has the promise of satellite hunting and also good resolution of the shape. However, if Karl stays home he'll likely have a miss. Kirk and I are not too far apart in the cross track direction. But that can be an advantage for confirming noisy events or moonlets. The track has both of us well inside.
Alt=51, Az=224 in the SW, just above Alpha Piscium where the fishes meet.

Clear dry dark skies arrived, and all 3 of Team Santa Cruz were planning to try it.
I got a ~1.2s positive obvious on my monitor. Will have to reduce to see more... I observed at 4x from at neighbor's stairs, gamma=1, reduced with horz/vert median filter. There was slight aerosol obscuration in the last half of the tape, but the event is bright, clear, and unaffected. A good reference star very close to the target showed optimum calibration with zero offset in time.
