Hey All,
     Saw AM-11 at 7:02:00 UT at RA: 15hr 39min Dec:
-5.5deg at about +3.0mag. I believe this is the most
distant manmade object I have ever seen with the naked
eye. Just curious if others have seen naked eye
objects farther? AM-11 is clearly in a more distant
(graveyard orbit) orbit than geosynchronous.

     Regards,
