All Observations made 6-14-00
location: 35.92N, 84.06W

Centaur 2 (694) was sighted by accident while watching a large thunderhead
to the south that happened to be covering the moon.  Much brighter than
predicted by either SatSpy or SatHunt, easily 1.5 mag and steady at 6:09 UT
while traveling W to E through southern Ophiuchus.

Resurs 1-4R (25400) spotted just after it left shadow between Altair and
Vega.  Wild bright flasher.  Many flashes to -1 mag as it headed north.
Goldish color noted.  Though no accurate timings, approximately 3 to 4
flashes per second throughout pass.  Observed from 7:18 to 7:22 UT. Hope to
see this one often.
