The sightings are for Las Palmas, the only readings available. Difficult to allow for Tenerife variations but should be roughly those shown....allow a minute or two and a few degrees either way.
The satellite will reflect the sun and look a bit like a constant plane light or small star travelling at a constant speed and will `rise`from the `APPROACH` reading and fade away at the `DEPARTURE` reading.
Sunday 8th (tomorrow) could be a good time to view if the sky is clear as you will have three minutes to find it.
At 6. 39 pm ,Just look up about 30/40 degrees from horizontal at due West (exactly where the sun goes down).
Cheers
