    09:00:35 - Saw the Cosmos 1939 Rocket.
    
    09:02:55 - Saw Cosmos 1812 at about a magnitude fainter than predicted.
    
    09:23:56 - Saw the ERS-1 Rocket.
    
    09:28:23 - Advancing morning twilight prohibited me from seeing the
    Cosmos 1484 Rocket.
    
    Very cold!  I endured subzero temperatures with a light jacket (!). 
    Enduring the cold is one of the cords that binds us all together.
    
    Off-topic (reply privately): does anyone have a program that will
    calculate the central meridian of Mars, given the time and date?  I saw a
    feature on Mars this morning, but I can't identify it until the CM is
    known.  Can anyone help?
    
    Mars is approaching nigh unto the Earth.  It's that bright object in the
    south during the hours before local dawn.
