I didn't mention that I too had a fantastic view of TiPS in my 8" LXD55 with an eyepiece for 31x. I followed it from epsilon Pegasi for about 25 degrees arc, then lost only because the eyepiece moved too high. It seemed almost brilliant, and I saw a few sparkles from both end masses. This was the first time in the telescope - many years ago I could find it with 7x50 binos. /Björn -- COSPAR 5919, MALMA, 59.2576 N, 18.6172 E, 23 m -- -- COSPAR 5918, HAMMARBY, 59.2985 N, 18.1045 E, 44 m -- > Re: An Intro!! ... > But for faint sats a big binos is very nice - my "top" sat observation > was a glimpse of TIPS bodies and tether on a winter night with a Vixen > 20x100 binoculars. > A remarkable view, indeed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
