    The latest unknown geosat was visible with binoculars again, 
    about 160 seconds east of Intelsat 707 (96-015A, 23816).  
    This was around RA 01:00 (2000).  Thank you to Brian Hunter 
    for his follow-up message!
    
    Kevin's unknown geosat (90023) also was visible again with 
    the 8x42 for several minutes beginning about 00:30 RA.  
    
    Iridium 914 (97-030A, 24836) on two evenings now has done
    great double-flashing passes very low in the west.  Monday
    PM's culmination was only 16 degrees above the horizon.
    
    BCRC location: 30.315N, 97.866W, 280m.
