I was at the Ney Museum grounds and had a near-zenith culmination
prediction for AMS 1 (DMSP F1, 09415, 76-091A). Right behind it
was a steady faint object, tracking it exactly for as far as I
could follow it, as far as I could tell. I had faced due north
to catch AMS 1 as it approached the zenith, and after culmination
I had to rotate 180 degrees. I found AMS 1 again but could not
see the trailer anymore, perhaps due to some cloud interference.
I timed AMS 1 and the trailer near two stars and got 1.10 and
1.18 seconds separation. In the south a faint, fast west-to-east
one crossed paths with AMS 1 at about 3:24:57, and Findsat
identifies it as 77-065BE, 10227 (Delta 1 Debris).
Ney Musuem site: 30.307N, 97.727W, 150m.
Those were the last three objects seen, as soon thereafter the
clouds ended the session, although I tried unsuccessfully tried
to see USA 193, not a good pass - especially through some clouds,
before I went home.
