I forgot to mention that I also searched for USA 116 in the interval +2/+28 min on (SGP4) predictions from the 05249 elset (-24/+2 on my search elset issued for 06060, now : USA 116 search 1 53728U 95066A 6101.93680471 .00001000 00000-0 50000-4 0 22 2 53728 97.8648 236.1692 0283426 69.2843 293.8505 14.88357479 32402) This was a high eastern pass,searched mainly at 1-power. USA 116, if still in orbit, should now be very close to perigee, (with shadow exit around 60N), so the previous pass was at around 10 deg altitude. I searched it for roughly the same interval, with my new cheap, lightweight 10*50 (gives me nearly one magnitude more, because my pupils dont dilate as much as they did). But my limit magnitude with humidity and moonlight on that pass was about +6.5. My passes, and the Moon, are now moving later and into the west, so I put my hopes a week into the future, possibly for a full-track search. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
