Couple of PPAS reports: Gorizont 14 (17969) -- 87- 40 A 03-09-30 04:35:04 EC 887.1 0.4 10 88.71 +4.5->inv Gorizont 17 (19765) -- 89- 4 A 03-09-30 03:50:04 EC 1464.9 0.4 20 73.25 +6.5->inv near Mars Saw more flaring geosats. One south-of-plane, probably a TDRS, was visible without binoculars below iota Ceti for a couple of minutes. Saw about four in the region about three hours RA west of shadow-entry location. Mike recovered 90006 after five months and also found that Telstar 402R (or just plain 4 as Jonathan reports, 95-049A, 23670) is already tumbling slowly. With his 20cm scope at almost 90-power, the satellite was invisible much of the time, about mag +13 or fainter. I've seen DSP 39 (89-046A, 20066) the last couple of nights, pretty close I think to where it's supposed to be. Location was BCRC, 30.315N, 97.866W, 280m. Weather last two nights has been very pretty.
