That doesn't seem right. May I suggest to you who have telescopes, to send me your observstions so I can make a web site listing the norad number intl designation and mag of the geo sat. It seems there is no site that does that, which I can find. Has anyone seen the newest milstar that was going to be at 90 degrees west, accordeing to spaceflight now. I wonder how bright it is? _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
