This cold and windy but clear morning I dragged myself out of bed to try to see zenith passes of COMETS (25175, 98-11A) and its H-2 Rk (25176, 98-11B), and I came away puzzled. At the predicted time for the H-2 rocket, using one-power, I saw absolutely *nothing*. This surprised me after having seen the TRMM/ETS7 H-2 quite a few times, and I double-checked to make sure I had used the correct date for my predictions. Then about 23 or 24 minutes later when it was time for the COMETS pass, I saw a very bright (maxima around +1.5), obviously object tumbling with a period of about 7.3 seconds! This pair of observations causes me to wonder if the payload and rocket are reversed; i.e., that 25175 is the H-2 and should be designated 98-11B while 25176 is the payload and should be 98-11A. ... Or however such a mix-up would be resolved. Seasat (10967, 78-64A) was quite bright this morning. Last night's observing of Superbird A, Gorizont 23, Raduga 33, the 97-68B Centaur, Apstar A1 Rk (23186, 94-43B) and a number of others was fun, if cold. Landsat 4 (13367, 82-72A), another retrograde, brightened to about +1.5 as it ascended towards culmination and then soon dimmed to its predicted +4.4. I missed a zenith pass of Ofeq 3 due to not having my binoculars out yet. Ed Cannon ecannon@mail.utexas.edu Austin, Texas, USA
