I was at heavens-above.com today, and was looking at predictions for a NOSS satelllite (NOSS 2-2 (D), to be specific). However, its predicted magnitude was +6 to +8. Isn't that much fainter than what the observers on this list report? I recall observers mentioning that they frequently see the NOSS satellites at naked-eye. Maybe I'm confused; or heavens-above.com's magnitude estimate is too faint? ------------------------------ Jonathan T.
