I could not follow it very far. It cleared after a short time so I did get to see the 2nd pass 96 minutes later and was able to follow it to shadow 8 seconds after the last point. My attempt at points on the Noss 2-3 three were done with a telescope. After the point on #23908 I put on my eye glasses and without a telescope watched all 3 visible in Cygnus. Then using a finder scope that has no magnification but shows a red dot in center of field of view found the Noss 2-3 in telescope again for another point and followed all 3 to shadow using the telescope. They made a big moving target to find on the run instead of normal procedure of setting up on a star and waiting for it to come with an 8" dobs telescope. Tiro 3 and STTW were dim sats sighted early along with several Cosmos. At 0.52.20 UTC a fireball was seen over a 35 degree arc before it went below the trees. Big, -10 mag at least. A comfortable 52F and very noisy crickets. Lat. 39.4707 Lon. -79.3388 Alt. 2753 ft. -4 UTC What these numbers mean: http://www.satobs.org/position/IODformat.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
