    Using my 7 x 35 binocs I just unsuccessfully tried to locate Superbird A
    using:
    1 20040U 89041A   03122.57494806 -.00000219  00000-0  10000-3 0  4137
    2 20040   8.8165  47.3005 0001273  87.8774 272.0239  0.99752226 50214
    
    That's not surprising for me  :~(  but I did quite unexpectedly see a part
    of a meteor steak through my binocular FOV and also to my surprise, the ISS
    passed through the image as well. Neat!
    
    Over the years I've seen a meteor enter or pass through the FOV of my
    binoculars four times, at least.
