Mike, congratulations on the success! Unfortunately I failed to find it last night. Yesterday evening sky in my town was cleared of clouds and I decided to find the USA 229 (NROL-34) using the preliminary TLE set provided by Ted. Object search was conducted through the binoculars with the limit of 8m, taking into account the moonlight pollution. I scanning the area from the Gemini to Canis Minor, during 5-6 minutes before and after the estimated time of 18:02 UTC, but I could't see anything like USA 229 (NROL-34) pair. As it turned out the USA 229 pass actually was four minutes after terminating my efforts. I don't lucky indeed. _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
