Been waiting for an opportunity to try and see FITSAT1. Yesterday we had clear skies at nightfall, but clouded over just minutes before the evening pass............Has anyone seen this yet ?

The website says this:

Not really because the Christmas time, but between 22.th dec. and 6.th jan. Niwaka will not active to flashing lights and transmit camera pictures. It active only to transmit the regular telemetry on its 437 MHz chanels. If you are radio amateur, and you have tracking antenna system, you have the chance to follow its conditions.

There's an LED schedule on this page:
