There's a fairly low pass of Double Star 1 over south Texas, eastbound to the south of Austin, Wednesday PM, at around 8:00 PM CDT. It's spin-stabilized and can be quite interesting to watch. DoubleStar 1 1 28140U 03061A 04098.00823849 -.00000250 +00000-0 +12885-2 0 00771 2 28140 028.5838 011.8228 8493793 140.9247 330.2089 00.87627502001725 The four-minute geosynch flasher looks to me like Cosmos 2291 (23267, 94-060A). If so, tonight it will be pretty close to (about one degree from) Gorizont 29 (22907, 93-072A). It has disappeared at about 4:00 UTC the last two nights.
