Remarkable view of the three satellites orbiting in formation Monday night 04/14/1997 at 21:10 local, 04/15/1997, 04:00 UTC. Passed by Regulus, SW to NE, past Mizar at 04:13, magnitude 5.8 (Spysat2). All three in view with 10 x 50 binoculars, 7 deg FOV. Shape of capital "L", rotated clockwise 90 deg, moving to the left of me (34.5N 118W). Long leg ~100 km, short leg ~50 km. Could not see with naked eye. Did see Spot 2r earlier, 20:42, magnitude ~4 with naked eye.
