Something I'd like to share: I haven't had time for quite a while to do any satellite observing but tonight--being clear--instilled in me the desire to look at something at least. I quickly checked H-A and discovered that in one minute the Lacrosse 4 Rocket at a magnitude of 2.8 was going to make a high pass in the East. I grabbed my 7 x 35 binocs and ran outside to have a look. While watching the rocket brighten as it passed below Andromeda I noticed something odd. No way I thought to myself as I suddenly realized that the Lacrosse 4 Rocket had just passed through (or at least very close) to the NOSS 2-3 (C, D, & E) trio shining at a magnitude of 5.9. Neat!! A pleasant surprise for a person weary of trying to keep up with grades and everything else I have to do this time of year. :~) Tom Latitude: +42.473513 Longitude -92.360413 Time zone: USA Central Daylight Time, GMT -6 ..... ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
