    Hi all,

I operate an Southern hemisphere astronomy site at www.ozskywatch.com
(non-commercial).

Recently, Australia has a small satellite launched ('FedSat'), and I have
been trying to find out what it's maximum visual magnitude is - so I can put
this information on my site.

I would appreciate if someone on the list could help me by giving me some
idea of how bright it could get. It is 'a 58cm cube'. I have looked once and
didn't spot it (using a finder chart from www.heavens-above.com).

F.Y.I. sites with information about FedSat can be found at:

Thanks in advance,

Paul Floyd.
