After a failed attempt yesterday evening, I spotted Molniya 3-11 pass
through the Great Square of Pegasus. The night before, it was missed by
looking 5 mins late. Tonight, I setup 10 mins ahead of time in a lawn chair
using 10X50 binocs. Brightness was mag 6 to 7.

Used the following elset from Alan Pickup.

Molniya 3-11                                     1669 x 85 km

This is my first Molniya sighting.
