    I try to stay on center of tether. The up trajectory of tonight's pass,
    which has the tether and 2 sats all tracing the same path, makes it harder
    to do than when it is has a horizontal trajectory, which you view as 2 sats
    with one above the other with the tether stretched between with all moving
    sideways.
    Minus 16 C tonight. Set telescope up to see TiPS and stayed for 1 more.
