Congratulations, Russell, for 50 years of observing. I'll reach 50 years of satellites in 2053, at age 87. I'll probably start that evening observing 99-025ZZZZZ NORAD 192058 Feng Yun C Debris, if I remember to charge my image stabilized dual 16" Dobsonian mini-binoculars (2 lbs total weight). But seriously, here's to your next 50.

It was Sputnik 2. Then I saw it on the next revolution at 19.23 U.T. So that's the first 50 years dealt with. At the time, there was just one artificial satellite in orbit. Now look how many there are! regards Russell -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
