Greetings all, Herewith position observation made last night- Jan 28,1997 from my usual site: #24680 96072A 20h 18m 47.6s UT RA 13h56.0m Dec -54d10' (J2000) mag 8 - rather low down in sky ( elevation 13 degrees) and in bright orange city glow-satellite about magnitude 8 steady.Running 29.6 sec early on predicts. Reasonable time signals for a change! I dont think Im going to have this satellite for long before its too low for me to observe- unless I demolish surrounding houses etc,so hope to make a few more obs this week.One problem I have is coastal cloud- being very close (4-5 km) to Table Mountain we have a "local" weather system and evening cloud is a regular occurance,especially after a hot day ( 28-30 deg C )- of course in winter we have almost continuous cloud and drizzle! Cheers Greg
