Saw twenty some new for me sats, mainly Cosmos's, on Wed. and Thurs., clear and warm. On 4/10/02 DMSP F14 #24753 was viewed at 96X thru 8" reflector below Jupiter at a distance of half the viewable diameter of the planet (very close) at 01.41.34 UTC. The el set I used had it above Jupiter by same amount, and I did allow for the inverted image in telescope, normally observe with 10 X 50 binocs. Jupiter's red spot also observed at higher powers. On 4/11/02 at 01.46.00 UTC saw ISS with STS-110 docked at 345 az 15 el traveling north to shadow at 22d elevation. I like sightings with lots of people on board.
