I finally had a chance to see USA 129! It made a great pass just under Benetansch. I'm still new at this, but I am estimating the mag at 4.0. (I am estimating the mag at the same mag as the last star in the constellation Bootes that was directly under Benetansch.) It was right on with the latest Molczan elset: USA 129 15.0 3.0 0.0 5.1 v 1 24680U 96072 A 97 81.15398120 .00010426 00000-0 11932-3 0 03 2 24680 97.8549 144.9488 0538021 228.3204 126.7146 14.73648138 04 and Quicksat produced: 45.052 83.458 200.

I picked it up just after that with a pair of 10 x 50 binoculars and followed to about 30 degrees. I was a little distracted by my 2-year-old so I'm sorry that I can't give accurate times. As far as I could tell, the time was right on the money to what Quicksat produced. This was alot of fun to see considering the talk about it last Dec-Jan.
