From about 2:13-15 Sept. 27 UTC PAS 1R (26608, 00-72A) was brighter than any of the stars around it (a neat rectangle in southernmost Pisces. The brightest star of the rectangle, 30 Piscium, is +4.4 magnitude. The satellite was at least +4.0 if not +3.5. About five minutes earlier, two others, the very close pair PAS 3R (23764, 96-002A) and PAS 6B (25585, 98-075A) were also visible, farther to the east, in the same field of view. All of them at that time were about +5.5 perhaps. I was at the Ney Museum.
