This is a high value Trojan asteroid event. The rank isn't great, but isn't bad either. Nominal odds of a "hit" in Santa Cruz area is 32%. Altitude is good, at 28 deg and Az=51 in the Northeast. No moon dark skies. Duration 5.0s on centerline. This is Friday of the last week of classes, no class interference for me on this one.
Alt=28, Az=51
The rank suggests it's not likely worth driving to the centerline in San Mateo country line area, but it is worth it to get up into the mountains for a dark sky.
RA=5h 19 48.0s (on date) Dec=+46 34 18.4"
RA=5h 17 45.1 (J2000) Dec=+46 32 34.1"
