Hi, A beginner here in Shropshire, England, U.K. This morning, 4 December 98, at around 0714 UTC I saw Zarya. I waited in anticipation to see how bright it would be. Well I was surprised. It started off from the West about the same magnitude as Aurcturus. After passing 50 degrees or so above me it soon dimmed as it headed towards the East & the rising sun. 73's de William.
