I was able to spot the AMAZONAS geo sat, after awhile. Fainter compared to the two other's nearby which are Echostar 3 and Rainbow 1. Rainbow 1 was the brightest at around mag 8.9 I found it easier to see Echostar 3 and Rainbow 1. I also had cosmos 2339 come flying through the feild of view. Time of Observation 2:02 UTC ( Aug 20 ). Used my 70 mm refractor. Kevin _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Win 1 of 4,000 free domain names from Yahoo!
