     I have been attempting to make positional observations of USA 144 and been
 failing miserably.

In addition to a pair of 7 x 50 binoculars and a copy of SkyAtlas 2000.0, I
have recently purchased a radio-controlled clock and a digital stopwatch, so
I feel that I have the right equipment.  I now also own a copy of Desmond
King-Hele's book "Observing Earth Satellites" which is a cracking book.

What I don't have is the experience to begin using this equipment.

Please would some of our more illustrious members suggest some suitable sats
for practising positional observations?  I only need a few suggestions.

Thanks
