Observed all four objects from launch 2000 033. Observed the Cosmos rocket (#26386) first in the viewfinder at 10:03 UT (4 July). Then used the main telescope for the remaining observations. SNAP 1 (#26386) was first at 10:12 UT. Magnitude about 7. Nadezhda 6 (#26384) was next at magnitude 6. Last was Tzinghua 1 (#26385) at 10:14:45 UT at magnitude 8. SNAP 1 supposedly is only about 5 kg so I was pleased to be able to see it easily, although it might be difficult in my 7x50 binoculars. I tried for a second time to see the TDRS-H Centaur but missed it.
