    Morning
    
    Just read with great interest Paul Maleys contribution
    about having seen part of the STEREO launch. From what
    I understand of the launch and events he could not have
    possibly seen anything related to the STEREO launch.
    
    I base this on his geographical location ~30N and 78W
    so all he might have seen would be the ascent stage,but then
    the time of observatio -0154UT does not fit the sequence of
    events at all.
    
    By the time the satellites appeared above my horizon it
    was already 01h21mUT- nearly half an hour earlier than
    Pauls observation. By then the stage sequencing had been
    completed and the objects well into the southern hemisphere
    and heading rapidly outwards.
    
    Maybe Im wrong, in which case apologies,but I just dont
    see at the moment how Pauls sighting could be STEREO
    related.
    
    Cheers
    Greg
