This event is poor rank, but in a good direction for me at home. I'll give it a try. Kirk is also in good position from home. It's bright, but will require 2x or 1x for the 0.3s duration

Alt=28, Az=107 in Virgo. Very close to NGC 4043, a tiny faint SB0 galaxy. Use it just to avoid having to type in all the RA/Dec numbers if you're in a hurry
