This is a faint asteroid with a disappearance of only 0.5s. A difficult event, but if conditions are good, may be do-able. Requires a drive north, although Karl's just inside the southern limit at home
Alt=59 in Gemini, not far from Assisi

I got a 0.2669s event for 1998 BA9, 8x, near Ano Nuevo state park on hwy 1. This was much shorter than the max predicted, 1.06sec, and I was only 20m from the centerline.
The prediction must have been inaccurate for the duration and/or path. The target was noisy but I got an event just a second before predicted time and with an NIE sigma distance of 20.4.
