Thanks to Bob Christy who sent me scans of my note on a naked-eye geosat (Space, 1983, No 42). Details were: 1983 Oct 11 02:25UT mag +3 object noticed with the naked-eye from Herstmonceux, S. England. Four fixes in 20x120 binocs allowed Gordon Taylor to ID it as 80-098A, NORAD 12089, Intelsat 5 F-2. Earlier that night I had suspected a mag +4 object, but put it down to a star when checking a chart later. Gordon suspected that suspect may have been 81-119A, NORAD 12994, Intelsat 5 F-3 Cheers, Rob _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Mon Mar 21 2022 - 19:02:27 UTC
