First attempt to use Obsentry. Station 8730 is outside my apartment: 30.3086N, 97.7279W, 150m. I think that the position is pretty good, 50% split between two stars. The elset age was 23 days. I'm sure that it has a regular (but slow) flash period but watched it for such a short arc that I report "I". Maybe I should have left that off? NOSS 3-1 Rk in IOD format -- 26906 01 040B 8730 G 20050714091923600 17 15 1954000+403000 17 I+045 10 A few minutes later I saw USA 81 (21949, 92-023A) flashing vigorously (sparkling) to at least +2.0 if not +1.5 at about 9:25:25-40 (roughly 21:00, +30, in eastern Cygnus) but didn't manage to get a position on it. Wednesday evening was clouded out. Of course I'm hoping for a soon and safely completed Space Shuttle Discovery launch and mission!
