    Altitude and range in miles.
    The first visual configuraton the 3 were almost not visible in a 5 degree
    field of view. The 2nd was similar but more in the 5 degree field of my
    binocs. The 3rd sighting they were almost in a straight line easily in the 5
    degree fov.
    Always fun to watch these 3 and the other triplets.
    El set age says 74 days old. What does that mean if I may ask?
