Thanks for the write up Art! I am very grateful for such information. In regard to H-A, if you go to "select a satellite from the database" you can get passes for objects that have a magnitude that is far less than +5. E.g. Vanguard 1 is listed as having an intrinsic brightness of mag. 10.3 (at 1000 km distance, 50% illuminated) and a maximum brightness of mag 8.4.
