    This is a new one for me DMSP7-(has it really been up there since 
    1975?) can anyone tell me what it is?-I notice it is a frequently 
    observed and reported object - Anyway, I got it in my 6.25" reflector 
    (52*mag) as it passed near BD+82 498 in Ursa minor-this was the 
    first clear night for several days in the north west of england-also 
    saw Lacrosse 2 at twighlight-very pretty. Below is obsentry output 
    for DMSP7-
    
    can I get feedback on accuracy please?
