Here is a search elset for Milstar DFS 1, based on 120 deg W, zero deg inclination and near-circular orbit. The object is well above the horizon for a large part of North America. I have noted that the observations of DFS 2 were made when the object was nearly fully illuminated, so that might be a good strategy for DFS 1. Searchers should allow several degrees uncertainty in azimuth and elevation, in case the orbit is inclined, as DFS 2 appears to be. The size and derived standard magnitude were arrived at by trial and error, to roughly fit the DFS 2 observations. The object has been reported as bright as mag 6.5 and as faint as mag 9. So if you don't see at first, try again at, say, 30 min intervals. A brief photographic exposure of the area may reveal the object as a point of light, among star trails. Perhaps someone can provide technical advice on how best to do such photography.
