The only triangle (with parallell tracks) I found above 55 degree altitude around 01:15 UTC was OV1-9, 65-16D and 70-25BA, but only 65-16D was moving N (the other two anti-parallell) and all are faint. Using a wider time range (+-3.5 min) I get lots of (faint) tracks, but it's hard to discern triangles on parallell paths. 91-68AJ is running parallell with Cosmos 1553 Rk, but at 2/3 the speed. What is your time accuracy, and where did the triangle move in relation to Vega-Deneb-Altair ? Mitchell1.gif is made with mag limit of +7, but Mitchell2.gif and the report files were produced with mag 12. ----- Original Message ----- > While stargazing the night of September 8 from Erie, PA USA (42.072N > 80.143W) around 21:30 EDT or September 9 01:30 UT three of us saw a > widely spaced trio of satellites travelling North at zenith at approx > mag -1. No joke, they were obviously brighter than vega at 0 mag. ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from SeeSat-L, send a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@satobs.org List archived at http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
