    No thunderstorm, but unexpected a very nice sky, much wind.
    I was able to find Jason 2 using 7 x 50 binocs.
    At its brightest it was +7.1.
    Jason 1 was 5 m 39s behind Jason 2 at brightest +7.3
    In between 39.6 s before Jason 1 was Topex with again a time between
    bright (+2.5) flashes of about 28 seconds.
    
    Predicted and also observed culmination times (+/- 2 s):
    23:16:48 Jason 1
    23:21:49 Topex
    23:22:27 Jason 2 and at last
    00:20:05 Jason 2 rocket mag +7.3
