Having just joined the group, I had not intention of posting anything until I had gained a bit more of a clue. However, I had a good pass of Astro-H/Hitomi/41337 tonight so I took a whack at it. Both visually and photographically it appeared right on time using tle downloaded earlier today. I only saw one object through 110x40 binoculars from an urban location. This was also my first crack at ObsReduce so I would not base the world on this. I would appreciate it if someone could check this and see if the numbers seem reasonable. 41337 16 012A 0000 G 20160328014130000 17 25 0703024-235000 37 S+080 10 I apologize in advance if I have made any major errors or stepped on anyone's toes.
