Hi All,

For anyone doing some late-night satellite watching, take a
break between passes and check out Vesta in the southeast --
it is currently shining at magnitude +5.6!  Location is about
12 degrees to the left (ENE) of tau-Sagittarii.  For further
reference, there is a cluster of four 4th magnitude stars
about 5 degrees due south of Vesta.  Coordinates for July 6th
are roughly RA 22h 57m, Dec -22d 15'.

Also, for SoCal, nice passes tonite (Wed., July 5th) predicted
for Hubble, Iridium 39, Okean-O R/B, Lacrosse 2 & Lacrosse 3 R/B.

--Rob
