On three passes (1999 June 05, June 19, and 2000 February 15) we saw the earlier Starshine (99-030B) at maximum (flashing) brightnesses ranging from 2nd to 6th magnitude but were never able to see it between flashes in 7x50 and 10x50 binoculars. So unless this new one is significantly different from its predecessor, it seems unlikely that it will be easily seen without optical aid. Clear and dark skies!
