Saw the Shenzhou 3 Orbital Module (#27408). It was a great pass, as it soared to more than 80 degrees in altitude. BTW, I read a report last week that Shenzhou 4 is expected to launch in the September-October-November timeframe. Chinese space officials say that pre-launch preparations are going better than they were for Shenzhou 3. If all goes well, the early 2003 launch of Shenzhou 5 will be manned. I couldn't manage to see TiPS (#23937) in my telescope. Satspy predicted it to be +10.3. Can I realistically ever expect it to get any brighter than that at my latitude of 40N ? I could not sight NOAA 17 in my light-polluted skies. --------------------------------------------------------- Jonathan Wojack tlj18@juno.com ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
