Bjoern & all

Like Ted I missed Ir. 73 on 28/8/00, at my location Ir. 73 was due to show
at 20:07 UT 352°Az 27°El mag 1, no show. I have been trying to
see Ir. 73 for the last 3 months and every time the position and skies have
been favourable Ir. 73 has failed to appear.As an unaided observer the flare
is
all I would normally see of this satellite.
I will keep watching and will let you know if I catch sight of it.

Clear Skies
