Maybe we'll have better luck at the next pass (08:00 UTC) although this one will be even lower (e.g. 13 degrees maximum elevation) in the NNW. Clear and dark skies! Ed and Darlene Light Lakewood, New Jersey, USA 40.1075N, 074.2312W, +24m (80 feet)----------------------------- I should point out that I have excellent eyesight - used to be 20/10 - now slipped to 20/15 as I age. But even I could not distinguish the objects separation by naked eye once less than about 60 degrees above the horizon. My path was about 10-15 degrees off the zenith.
