In the house.. Looking East out the window.. thru the trees.. Cloudy, so spent a great deal of time locating stars and IDing them.. Positive on the star IDs, not sure at all on the sats, but I was aiming for IGS 1A, but got two sats at once.. This is very near Ted's W11/W23 search elset, but around 3 minutes late.. it is also about 7 secs off of IGS1A being the second point nearly a degree off track.. Can provide video, but like I said.. it's in the trees.. Star at the end of the clip I am 95% sure is Caph. 99.9% sure of the three stars (see above) and the time (Time is never wrong).. Position is less than 100 feet away from normal, but for exactness.. -121 42.1442 +37 6.7930 280m MSL Derek C Breit BREIT IDEAS Obs - Morgan Hill, CA - COSPAR 8739 E.
