This was from the Ney Museum location. The sky was very clear after the passage of a cold front, and the Moon was farther away in the sky, so I may have seen one more cycle than last night. It was roughly RA 23:20-40, Dec -13. 93-077A, 22927, Telstar 401 -- November 16, 2005 UTC Ck Split. UTC Time.. Mag. Using 01 ------ 3:16:03.55 +3.5 Binoculars 02 94.53 3:17:38.08 +3.0 1x 03 94.56 3:19:12.64 +2.0 1x 04 94.53 3:20:47.17 +1.5 1x 05 94.56 3:22:21.73 +1.0 1x 06 94.53 3:23:56.26 +1.0 1x 07 94.63 3:25:30.89 +3.0 1x 08 94.43 3:27:05.32 +2.0 1x 09 94.51 3:28:39.83 +4.0 B 10 94.81 3:30:14.64 +3.5 1x 11 94.49 3:31:49.13 +5.5 B 12 94.41 3:33:23.54 +5.0 B 13 189.25 3:36:32.79 +6.0 B (previous one too faint) 14 189.14 3:39:41.93 +7.5 B (previous one too faint) Due to a comedy of errors, I actually went to observe it without any predictions -- just went from where it was the previous night. It's obviously very helpful to use 8-degree FOV binoculars in such a situation.
