It was in moderate twilight, but I could still see constellations. I would say the twilight was no more than average light pollution in this local and that itself was in good check because of another exceptionally clear and dry morning. I was not caught flat-footed this time and I am quite certain the TSS itself at 70 degrees culmination was mag 2.5. Much brighter than I expected. I also downgrade my 3 degree length estimate from yesterday to closer to 2.5 degrees because I found my binoculars were slightly zoomed and not at their widest field.
Biggest surprise is the tether has swung the other way.
Visually, it was obvious the bottom tip was kinked and in binoculars, it was definately turned to the north. This is contrast to yesterday's ruler-straight appearance with a tip condensation. The tether was still blue-gray and as bright as yesterday. Even in twilight, it still had a naked-eye neon glow to it. I had feared the twilight would make it hard to see, but not so.
