the noss 2-2 trio appeared right on time for me tonight at 21:21:02 CDT(z-5) at 051.6az +34.3el in the binoc fov (~1.2deg below 18 Cyg)(an inconvenient tree blocks my NNE view at lower els) and I followed them into shadow at 21:27:10 (for the last fade of the trio). seemed brighter than the predicted +7.0 to +6.8 mag range, but I could not pick them out 1x in the nearly fullmoonlight. I remain unclear how I missed them last night fri in a clear sky when I had also easily spotted them on thu. one of life's mysteries. will look again when they fly by on the west side around 23:05. ******************************************* Paul Gabriel 26.24310N -98.21635W 33m gabriel305@earthlink.net titan / win95C / Calypso ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
