steve thinks for the tip, I had never seen 24753 either, but I managed to see it ~2452377.61960741 JD(UTC) on a 'line' between hip 37575 & hip 37629 about 2.68 arcmin 'above' the former (+/-30"). sorry I can't be more specific but I was having technical difficulties, although the sky was clear & good. does anyone know *exactly* if the sky will be clear at the Central Texas Star Party 13apr CDT after sunset. thanks! *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 04/12/02 at 00:00 Steve Newcomb wrote: >Saw twenty some new for me sats, mainly Cosmos's, on Wed. and Thurs., clear >and warm.
