This is a faint asteroid, but the sky will be dark, the altitude good at 59 degrees, and the duration long at 1.0s so it should be decently do-able. The path is vertical, and to get above fog will require driving up to Locatelli Meadow to get deep enough into the path. Or, much much easier, use my east side Wilder Ranch spot on Hwy 1, if fog stays away. The path doesn't go near Aptos or Karl.
Alt=59, Az=184 in Canis Major

I was stuck on the help chat line with BlueHost trying to get fixed the loss of site and uploading ability. When finally solved, it was too late to go for this event, and the fog outside strongly suggested that driving up Hwy 1 wasn't going to succeed anyway. No data.
Got a recording at 16x from BD Rd/Hwy 1, where it actually cleared enough to get the event
I got a 0.5338s clear event for Youngjunchoi, 16x at Bonny Doon road near hwy 1, same location as Eunomia 27 min later.
The altitude was high and it was clear in the target area.
The event was 2 integrations at 16x, only half of the predicted 0.98s, and I wasn't far from the centerline.
