Here are my obs from this evening (a while ago). They were made from the campus of the Univ. of Texas at Austin (30.286N, 97.739W, 150 meters). Conditions were slightly cloudy with very thin cirrus haze, plus moonlight and local light pollution. These were all seen with just my (corrected) one-power eyes. Telstar 401 (93-077A, 22927); 2005 December 6 UTC ----- 0:29:15.30 zero mag.? 94.50 0:30:52.67 +1.2 (e.g., Fomalhaut, alpha Piscis Austrini) 94.43 0:32:27.10 +1.0 (or brighter?) 94.46 0:34:01.56 +1.5 94.64 0:35:36.20 +1.2 (e.g., Fomalhaut, alpha Piscis Austrini) 94.52 0:37:10.72 +2.0 next one not seen but somewhat distracted by HST flare next one not seen This may be my last opportunity for a while (long time?), as it's getting into twilight, and later this week is predicted to be cloudy here. Saturday evening was my last sighting of Fleetsatcom 1 Rk (12908, 78-016B). Sunday evening's predicted pass was much too early in twilight and too low in the sky, and it didn't last long after that (if that one even happened). First possible re-entry here tonight -- nothing seen.
