Concerning the February 1 pass, I've got it logged to attempt. Although it is on the fringe of my limit, I may indeed try it due to the rock moving out of my southern light domes. It does not alter its magnitude (slight brightening) as it begins the motion into darker skies. It does lose just a bit of altitude, dropping from 52° down to ~30° at the approach of astronomical twilight. Its continuous proper motion during that time span remains ~35"/min. Distance is ~6.4LD.
